Gleanings: Articles on Other Sites

glean•ings (gle'ningz) pl.n.
Things that have been collected bit by bit: The gleanings of patient scholars.
Here, in no particular order or organisation, are bits and pieces about neglected books collected from the Web, from visitors to this site and other readers, and from other serendipitous moments.

In the absence of Project Xanadu, this pile of links and notes will have to suffice.
