One of my favorite anthologies, Bi Any Other Name, began as a personal
project by two people who wanted to see certain material published that
other publications were rejecting because it was too 'radical' (sound
familiar?) The two editors saw the quality of this work when no one
else did, and the result was a groundbreaking book that did not sell
well at first but has now become the 'bible of bi-ness' and is included
in many academic curricula.
