This week's selections of books with insufficient attention paid (usually...a rare few below to one degree or another deserve their relative obscurity) include a few classics and items by writers whose other work is certainly well-known...even a few items which are simply fading, quickly or less so, from their former popularity...Patti Abbott hosts this most Fridays, and I'm subbing this week, but Patti will host again next Friday...if I've missed your or someone else's FFB item, please let me know in comments...thanks! ![]()
