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
3.0
I highly enjoyed reading about the history of card cataloging systems, but recognize this book is definitely not for everyone.
The only complaint I have for it, is the book kind of ends abruptly in the early 1990s of cataloging, and for a book published in 2017 I was hoping it would have included more information on the internet we have today and how that is integrated into cataloging. Also, more information on the actual classification of LOC vs Dewey would have been pretty cool.
But all in all, I enjoyed the read.
