I think i may have an oppurtunity to pay reprint an out of print torah book. I would like to hear peoples suggestion for out-of-print torah books that deserve to be reprinted. As of now i have no qualifications, so anything from Rishonim, Achronim, Halacha, Shutim, Hashkafa, Machshava, Stories, etc.
Perhaps somthing that might not appeal to commercial interests.
I would like to round up as many suggestions as possible so please dont hesitate to suggest and ask your friends for their ideas.
I will be my pleasure to send a copy to person who nomiantes the eventually print book.

I'm told that there exists a book which is an English translation of a great work on Shalom Bayis. The translator was apparently a rabbi in Monsey NY. A rare copy of the book was seen in Maryland. I do not remember the title, but I do know someone who would know the name of the book in each language.
I would suggest trying to find out more about this book and having it reprinted.

Several early volumes of the Nachlas Shimon series on Neviim Rishonim by Harav Shimon Krasner (of Ner Yirael, Baltimore) are out of print. Those volumes are very much in demand in the Torah world because of Rav Krasner's unique halachik/lomdish approach to "sugyos" in Tanach, which he treats with great erudition and depth. Funding republication of the out-of-print volumes would be a very worthy undertaking.

How about contacitng the local Yeshivas (e.g. Ner Yisrael) and finding out through them if they have any suggestions on Sefarim needing such?
