Sound the Trumpets


FutureLawyer has admitted that card catalogs were superior to Googling.

I would add, far superior.

I would make space in my place if I ever came across an old card catalogue. I'd find a use for it too.

Same goes for one of those spinning carousel racks that used to hold paperback books. I could really use one of those.

Chris,

Absolutely.

They evoke instant memories.

I discovered a section (Ta - To)of our library's card catalog as a prop in a restaurant here in Baltimore. It still had our the cards in it. I offered to buy it, but they weren't selling.

Harvey,

What a disappointment!

I wonder how they got it.

[There may be a black market in old card catalogs.]

You are the Director of the Library. Claim it was stolen, and demand its return. :-)
