Definition

A lovingly curated list—whether of books, products, or your failures—organized just systematically enough that you can find what you're looking for (or at least convince yourself you tried). The paper version is definitely not obsolete; some of us still enjoy the tactile experience of circling items we'll never order.

Example Usage

The retailer's spring catalogue featured 200 pages of items that would go on clearance by June.
