So I've been spending way too much time looking at the Archive.org site. Lots of interesting stuff. It amazes me how a lot of things haven't really changed over the years. Reading some of the magazine articles, they were facing and discussing pretty much the same topics we do here today.
There are a few gems that I came across I thought are worth sharing:
The JoAnne Roberts books "Art & Illusion - A guide to Crossdressing" look quite good.
There is some CD fiction that is tantalizing.
One book on voice feminization "Speaking as a Woman" that is OK. Not great but OK.
In addition to the magazines and books, there are audio and video archives as well. I did find a few interesting things in this area. All of these are discussions about CDing and incorporate the SOs perception and acceptance. They also discuss some of the challenges they have had to deal with once the CDing came out.
I'm going to post the descriptions below for the programs along with hyperlinks to the programs. The first program with Helen and Betty, you need to get about half way through the program before the interview actually starts. The first half is not as interesting. The Helen and Betty material is a video, the Bobbie Thompson interview is just audio.
This third program presents an in-depth interview with well-known transgender advocates Helen Boyd and Betty Crow. Helen is the author of the book "My Husband Betty", which explores the relationships of crossdressing men and their female partners, as well as a follow-up, "She's Not the Man I Married", a more serious and expansive examination of gender roles in relationships. Betty Crow is a professional actor who has appeared on daytime TV in "All My Children" as a transgender woman, who also works as a web designer and 3D animator.

Author Bobbie Thompson, cis-gender spouse of a transgender woman, joins the show to talk about what it's like living with her now female spouse. Bobbie is the author of My Husband Looks Better in Lingerie Than I Do...Damnit!, a book chronicling the challenges of moving from disgust to acceptance with her transgender lover. She joins the IWTK podcast to talk about how disgusted and disappointed she was when Alan became Alana, the internal battle of gaining acceptance of the situation, the struggles of being transgender in a rural community, the advantages of Alana vs Alan, every day life living and loving together, certain physical aspects of the relationship, the roles they play and so much more. Bobbie is very open and candid about everything and isn't afraid to share their story in attempt to spread the word that people are just people, no matter what their life's journey.
