Gone Baby Gone
You swear you’ll never use it but the ominous phrase, “When I was your age,” will inevitably become part of your vocabulary one day.

Through a collection of short essays and illustrations, the author covers more than 100 everyday items, ideas and trends that are quickly disappearing. Take a walk down memory lane with mixed tapes, camera film, boom boxes and handwritten letters.
Grossman even tempts fate by announcing the book itself fits the bill. Touché!
