The Card Catalog: Books, Cards, and Literary Treasures by Library of Congress

5.0

This was a fascinating book. It discusses the development of the Library of Congress, LOC book purchases, early catalog systems, and the rise and fall of the card catalog. Paired with all of this is some really fascinating photographs of items, with their cards, at LOC.

This book really made my archivist heart happy. It was everything I was looking for and I didn't even know it. I think I am going to buy a physical copy of this book because I really enjoyed it and would love to see a better version of the photographs within. One day I will make a trip to LOC and see the amazing things it houses.

I totally recommend this book to anyone who loves libraries and books!
