| About: | At The Neglected Books Page you'll find lists of thousands of books that have been neglected, overlooked, forgotten, or stranded by changing tides in critical or popular taste. Many are, or were at the time they were suggested, out of print, and prior to the introduction of the Internet and handy services such as AddALL, Alibris, and Amazon, a reader looking for an out-of-print title was forced to hunt for it one bookstore or dealer at a time. Because it's readers who truly decide if a book remains neglected or gets rediscovered, your comments and suggestions are not just welcome, but encouraged. "The restoration to favour of forgotten books and authors is always a chancy business," Frank Kermode once wrote. "It is a myth that time will do the testing; it would be truer to credit chance, and, more important still, the continuation of reasonably well-informed talk." Please feel free to contribute to our reasonably well-informed talk. | |
