Title: a bit of history
Product review: Before the Internet became ubiquitous, Jason Epstein created a way for readers to buy from a bigger selection of books than was found in the typical bookstore of the time. You bought this catalog of 40,000 books and then ordered from the company a book you found in the catalog. This is the second edition of the catalog. I bought it to hold up during a presentation on the history of printing and publishing as an example of a book-selling idea that preceded Amazon selling books. This is not a book to read. It is merely a piece of publishing history.
