Most interesting. I was particularly intrigued by the titles that at one time or another had been considered for the series. If memory serves, this included <i>All Else is Folly</i> (which I will continue to push) and John Glassco's <i>The Deficit Made Flesh</i>. Must add that it made me feel just a touch of nostalgia. Where once NCL was bringing forgotten books back into print, the series now appears to focus exclusively on books that need no reviving. In fact, I'd argue that every one of their current titles would be picked up and kept in print by others if NCL suddenly ceased to exist.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-29050637321726008422009-11-17T17:28:11.378-05:002009-11-17T17:28:11.378-05:00Just read Janet Friskney's "New Canadian ...Just read Janet Friskney's "New Canadian Library" and reread your post.
