I just stumbled across this book by Washington Post contributor Anna Jane Grossman:

Obsolete: An Encyclopedia of Once-Common Things Passing Us By.

The book promises to remind us of lost treasures like mixed tapes, the boom box, letter writing, typewriters, (to my horror Porn magazines) : )  …and even books.

Keep the book alive at the very least and add this one to your list.  would be a great stocking stuffer or white elephant gift.
