Hope she sees this. Every now and then I am surprised by the alarming number of hits when one of my reviews is linked to the FFB page on your blog. Here's further proof that Friday's Forgotten Books is an excellent idea that should continue.<br /><br />Last year I received an email from a reader of my blog who went in search of an obscure book that I reviewed and was one of the Friday's Forgotten Book posts. He lives in Chapel Hill, NC where the amazing The Bookshop is located. Here's what he wrote me: "I recently had a funny experience when I went to visit our local used bookshop to purchase a book you had reviewed that morning. I inquired after the book and the copy was set aside while I browsed the shop. Upon checkout, the clerk asked me if I wouldn't mind telling her why I had purchased the book. I mentioned your blog and she replied: "Oh, that explains it. You see, that book has been sitting around<br />the shop since 1993 ~ and just since you entered the shop, we have had three<br />requests for it in a row."<br />J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-3882937226555295702015-06-14T10:37:23.676-04:002015-06-14T10:37:23.676-04:00Patti, we couldn't have done FFB without you a...Patti, we couldn't have done FFB without you and our friends, like Todd, who fill in for you.Prashant C.

Keep it up! I have plenty of room for more books.<br /><br />Jeff M.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.com
