I recently received an 890 page ADI catalog from an integrator friend of mine who was delivered multiple copies. It's sitting in my bathroom, and I thumb through it when I have a few extra minutes on my hands. :)
Call me old fashioned, but I still get a kick out of browsing through a printed catalog, and I did learn about a few niche products from some smaller manufacturers that I might not have heard about otherwise.
From a professional standpoint, however, my days of using printed materials to conduct research is long over - I am way too spoiled by the resources on the internet. I'm getting so I don't even want CDs from manufacturers; I would rather harvest "fresh" information from the web at the time that I need it.
