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

I miss the card catalog. I remember the pile of slips of paper lying on top so you could write down the call letters and then head into the shelves to search it out. I remember just flipping through the cards looking for something that sounded good and the joy that came when you ran across the "perfect" book that you didn't know existed 30 seconds before. This book brought back memories and taught me some things I never knew.
