Reviews

Be Kind; Rewind! takes us back to the vintage entertainment technology of yesteryear, and I say, ""welcome back""! This book is an easy-to-understand guide to collecting retro vintage technology, showing how it can augment libraries and communities by reintroducing entertainment that does not go out of style and brings enjoyment and history to families and friends alike. * Robert Chilensky, professor of political science and nostalgic enthusiast of vintage entertainment * Christopher Kincaid's book is the perfect guide for any librarian looking to get patrons excited about retro technology. Drawing on his own hands-on experience, he goes way beyond a typical history lesson. Instead, he shows you exactly how devices like VCRs, CRT TVs, and classic gaming systems can be used for fun and engaging library programs. What really sets this book apart is the focus on the practical, ""nitty-gritty"" details. The book gives readers crucial advice on everything from finding the right equipment to keeping it in great working condition. * Jay Miley, Customer Service & Library System Manger, SEO Library Consortium, USA *
