A review by snowbenton
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

5.0

"Legend has it that the library and its collection were burned when Alexandria was besieged by Julius Caesar in 48 BC. Although the library suffered some damage during the battle, its demise was probably gradual and much less dramatic. Most historians agree that the decline of the Great Library of Alexandria was due to what endangers libraries of the present day -- general indifference and bureaucratic neglect."

A fun ephemera book for the library lover with a couple facts that definitely blew my mind.
