If you like Hero Arts stamps, I'd recommend their catalog. But, I don't buy it every year (I agree with you, it seems odd to pay $10 to get a catalog)

I also agree that it seems odd to pay so much for a catalog, but the ones I've bought (Hero Arts and Stampin' Up, for example) are printed on quality glossy paper in full color, and that it's very expensive to print them that way. The expensive catalogs have lots and lots of examples in them. The less expensive catalogs are usually printed on regular type paper in black and white and the companies usually offer to deduct the cost from your first purchase, or something similar. I've always been happy with the ones that I've purchased. Helen

It really depends what you are looking for and the time you have. Some of the web pages are so slow to load that it is hard to see everything they have to offer. A lot of web pages only have a few of the images available listed on them while the catty might have their whole line. Some of the cattys have color examples..you can find those on web galleries. If you like to look at catties in the bath tub..well that is hard to do on a comptuer,,LOL
