I just got my new B&H catalog in the mail today, why, why, why??? It's like waving a giant candy bar in front of a child but not letting him have a bite!  Now I want one of everything in the thing. I've gotta find a way to win the Lotto.

Haha, I feel the same way. I've got to the point where I don't look at them anymore.

I look at it and can't help but thinking about how much cheaper their products would be if they hadn't spent so much money printing and mailing this thing... I've had smaller phone books.

Ooooh -- I can't wait to see it....
I just won the lottery, and have been having a tough time deciding how to spend my money!
either that or I just woke up from a nap here at work, and I am still in dream land...yah, that's what it was.

I can help you out with that problem if you need me to Kent. I'm sure between the two of use we can think of some way to take care of your money, all of your money
Any of you remember the Sear Toy catalog that use to come out every year??? Man the B&H catalog makes me feel like I did when I was 10 and the toy catalog would come in the mail. I've already wore out a highlighter circling things I can't afford.

Now I want one of everything in the thing. I've gotta find a way to win the Lotto. | I got 2 of catalogs from B&H. One is their catalog for everything. Another one is a 3 inch thick catalog, contains tons of details on nothing but digital photography stuff. I am sooo much wishing I had a spare $10K around. I'd use the first $1k to fly to New York and campout in the store for a weekend. I would really be like a kid in a candy store then. The remaining $9k would be for new MkIII, some new L glass, new bag, new CF cards, portable hard drive, PS CS3. Stop it! Stop it! I can't take it any more. How could B&H send me this 3 inch thick catalog. Its like feeding an addict. I am an addict! I'm a photo geek. I'm a PHeek!

How does one go about getting the extra 3-inch catalogue?

I think you buy something from them and they randomally send it to you, because i got one too and i never signed up for anything. | | | |

I get them all. Even the pro audio version. See what happens when you spend more than five figures with them
I can't imagine the book that Bill Bunton gets
