The Card Catalog: Books, Cards, and Literary Treasures (Gifts for Book Lovers, Gifts for Librarians, Book Club Gift) by Peter Devereaux, Library of Congress, Carla Hayden

4.0

Beautifully produced, with a fairly short history of the card catalog in the US. Also included are a number of pictures of early editions of well known books together with their LOC catalog cards. Having used card catalogs for many years, it was delightful to revisit the memories of thumbing through the cards in the sturdy oak drawers. I just wish that there had been more information on the actual process of cataloging.
