Believe It or Not: The Digital Age is Breathing New Life into Catalogs
Some History
Not long after the printing press was invented, the first catalogs were printed, and have been in circulation ever since. Seed companies started utilizing catalogs in the 17th Century, and they continue to this date.

He created a catalog of nearly 600 book titles, and made it possible for people to purchase without visiting his store front.
