I have about 15 catalogs. Some will be too large to scan (# pages). I will continue to acquire more.

I have been a fan of the Horner style for years, and although the pieces are pricey at times, your site allows one to view many fantastic examples all together. Thanks so much for your time and efforts into this project!

Chad
