Obsolete
By Anna Jane Grossman
Hardcover, 192 pages ($15.95)
Ever get the feeling life is passing you by? Well, it is—at alarming speed! This clever, cheeky and captivating little book takes a playful (and sometimes painfully true) look at car cigarette lighters, cursive writing, girdles, lickable stamps, pay phones, slide projectors, video stores and more than 120 other once-indispensable objects, services and conventions that are going bye-bye fast, if not already gone.
