- Hi Simon-A short description of a book you deem unjustly forgotten or neglected. It can be just a few sentences or more lengthy-whatever feels right to you. I'll post it on my blog the Friday after you send it. My email is aa2579@wayne.edu
Love to have you participate if you have the time. You can see examples at http://pattinase.blogspot.com
Thanks.
