About this product

Product Information

Thanks to advancing technology and shifting mores, the amount of change we experience in our lifetimes is truly exceptional. Objects and practices that are commonplace can very quickly become outmoded. In this witty and informative collection of short essays, journalist and social commentator Anna Jane Grossman takes a thoughtful look at what everyday apparatuses, ideas, and behaviors are quickly disappearing--or else have already left the building. Obsolete contains essays and entries on more than 100 alphabetized fading subjects, including Blind Dates, Mix Tapes, Getting Lost, Porn Magazines, Looking Old, Operators, Camera Film, Hitchhiking, Body Hair, Writing Letters, Basketball Players in Short Shorts, Privacy, Cash, and, yes, Books. This ode to obsolescence also includes 25 quirky pen-and-ink line illustrations to further help us remember exactly what we're missing.

    My very fragile item was quickly shipped and expertly packaged. It arrived in perfect shape exactly as described thanks to the shipper's skilled double boxing and the creative use of multiple packing materials to support and protect it. It was also a good value. I highly recommend this seller.

    My item unfortunately arrived damaged due to rough handling by USPS. The seller was absolutely NOT at fault as the item was wrapped, padded, and secured better than almost any package I’ve gotten. Messaged the seller and received a response very quickly and they were incredibly professional through the whole exchange. Highly recommended

    Great looking cover of Ike. Ike would become the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe two months after this issue. The rest is history. Quick shipping and EXCELLENT packaging. Magazine was bagged and placed between a cardboard, taped down and shipped in a poly mailer. Perfect. Magazine arrived exactly as described in Very Good condition. Very happy with the purchase. Trusted and professional seller. A+++. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Outstanding communication. Terrific transaction. Thanks.
