This week's books, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, this week as most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles (this week's chiefest ringer is the new Laura Lippman novel). Patti Abbott expects to return to hosting next week...and if I've missed yours or someone else's, please let me know in comments...

I have one or two that might the bill.
Thanks again for hosting FFB! I appreciate it and I'm sure Patti Abbott does too!
And I've snatched both the new one and the recent one not previously collected, Juri...thanks!
Thank you, George. As always, it's fun if a bit time-consuming to do.
Hi Todd, my post is finally up and running as of this very moment. Thanks!
Thank you! Welcome back...
A great and useful list, as always. Many thanks for it (and many thanks, too, for the mention!).
Todd - Thanks for doing the FFB list this week.
My "real" one is up now, Todd: THE GREEN EYES OF BAST by Sax Rohmer. Thanks for filling in for Patti.
Thank you, gentlemen.
That is a great Dell Mapback cover for The Private Practice of Michael Shayne, Todd. I am going to have to start collecting all versions of the Michael Shayne covers like I do for Rex Stout.
Thanks for pulling the links together for this Friday.
Thank you, Tracy...and, indeed, Dell mostly kept their editions handsome...
P.S. Todd, please make the color of your typeface a bit darker blue. I am having trouble reading it as it is.
It's fighting the effort, but I'll see what I can do...
