In this fun, concise handbook, Christopher Kincaid tackles the appeal and challenges these vintage media pose for circulation.He offers programming ideas to introduce and rekindle interest in old technology and provides lists and suggestions to help you get started building your vintage technology collections.When word gets out about your new (old) library collection, you never know who might stop by!
