I might have voted for my own nomination, Columba, if by the time I voted it had seemed to have turned into a contest between The Permanent Husband and Talismano So I went with a book, The Permanent Husband, that I know that I will be glad I read and that is available in the public domain as ebook. Sorry Talismano but obscure is not a category where I want to have to pay for an ebook. It turns out that this title is just not to be had through my library system in paper either.
