Polyamorist Next Door by Elisabeth Sheff
This book is one of my favorite books on polyamory for those who have experience. This work is a collection of research conducted by Sheff as she pursued a PhD. The combination of personal experience and research data does much of my science-minded self. This is one of the few books which address the family aspect of polyamory, including data addressing children in polyamory. Those who tend to be more well-read and enjoy data to match conclusions will enjoy how this book introduces basic polyamory concepts within the context of the family environment. The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy This book is the standard “go to” for introduction to polyamory. This book does an excellent job covering some of the general concepts those who are interested in polyamory should consider during their negotiation process. There are some elements about their perspectives that I do not personally share, but the regular activities in the text geared towards encouraging conversation, and the personal experiences of the authors provide a great place to start that “opening up” discussion between individuals.
