  6. Two real hymn books I saw in a catalogue:
    Hymns We've Always Loved,
    Hymns That Aren't Too High,
    'Hymns For Low Churches', 'The Goldilocks Hymn Book', or 'Tolerable Hymns & Anthems' might fill a few gaps in the market perhaps?

  13. I remember, at a book fair held at Vicar School™, seeing the fantastic "Responsible preaching on the Pauline Epistles", and desperately searching for its less popular companion book, "Irresponsible preaching on the Pauline Epistles".
