There's a wonderful series of books by Carlos Ruiz Zafón with this as a plot device; in the series, the "Cemetery of Forgotten Books" exists as place where forgotten books are treasured, adopted, and remembered.

Oh wow I read “The Shadow of the Wind” and enjoyed it. I didn’t know that there was a series. Thank you for the comment. I now have a few more books to search for in my local used book store.
The design of this website reminds me of a better internet.
Hat tip to The Morning News (https://themorningnews.org/) for putting Neglected Books on my radar!
Good to know there is a place for my latest SciFi book to go in fifty years.

Best not to link to past submissions unless there are comments there (and interesting ones at that), or HN readers will get ornery.
