Turning The Page

By Etelka Lehoczky, The Advocate, Oct 24, 2000

Excerpt:

Confronting an increasingly tough business, three heroes of gay and lesbian publishing pass the torch.

Barbara Grier wants everyone to know the rumors of her retirement are greatly exaggerated. "I field about 40 calls a day from hysterical customers who have heard Naiad [Press] is closing," Grier says testily. "Well, it's not true."

For the past twenty-six years, she and her partner Donna J. McBride have operated Naiad Press, biggest and best known of the lesbian little presses...
