Thanks for the book recs; I'll definitely look into & for them.
Re: old, forgotten books, I recently had an itch to reread a favorite from my childhood: Draw Me an Elephant, by Anne S. Sampson. It's gone out of print, so I bought a used copy online.
When it arrived, I discovered it had been part of a public school's library, and it had a big red "DISCARD" stamped on both its end papers. I just wanted to give the poor thing a hug... Instead, I reread it about seven times in a row, which, for a book, is probably about the same thing.
