You're pretty close.
I have been know to delicately "cut" the tool catalog up and put each page inside of a clear plastic page protector, to allow faster catalog lookups, with the sticky notes not lifting print and pictures off of the pages.
Cost an extra 25 dollars in "plastic".
But, it worked during a time that Internet terminals in the store was not as prevalent as now.
Flipping through the pages is STILL faster than the Internet or virtual catalogs, though.
I'm sure that will change, eventually.
But, I'd sure like to have had that 2009 Open-stock tool catalog.
I know you won't believe this, I'm one of those folks who actually save and "collect" the old Craftsman tool catalogs.
Oh, yes.
In fact, if someone within SHC could mail an Open-stock and a Tool Wishbook catalog to me now, it wouldn't be "too late".
I keep the paper catalogs forever.
I even keep PDF copies of the virtual catalog - in leu of a paper version.
Sadly, it does not seem possible to "save" the PDF virtual catalogs anymore.
Progress - I guess...
