Customer Rating: Summary: Needs more examples from OTHER companies catalogs Comment: After reading this book, I found it to have some good ideas, but it was too specific. I thought the author was just writing a book to promote his catalog because, unlike other catalog books, he used examples from HIS catalog. While the page with the Highland attire was a good example, all of the pages from his catalog just became overkill. It would have been much better had to also used examples from a variety of catalogs. Customer Rating: Summary: What A Book--It Got Me Thinking Comment: Our business is thinking about producing a catalog. We purchased several catalog books. "The Catalog Handbook" was great. He walks you step by step in how and why he designed his catalog--even some of his mistakes. Just reading it, I got some great ideas on how to create our catalog. This is for the first-timer and small business cataloger.
