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

摘要

Is it wrong of me to admit that as an academic and bibliophile I rarely find myself willing to pay the full price forany book, instead looking for bargains in bookshops and on the Internet, sometimes waiting over a year for apopular new title to appear at a price I am willing to pay? I mention this only because the Library of Congress’spaean to the card catalogue was a very rare exception to this, and I willingly handed over my cash as soon as Isaw a copy in the Bodleian Shop this summer.
