Archive.org remains undefeated.

Fond memories of flipping through Sears Christmas books as a kid and getting to the NES games where they had one tiny screen shot per game.

Something like page 514 here: https://archive.org/details/great-american-wishbook-1991_202...

That whole book is a HEAVY nostalgia hit actually.

Later I got a reproduction of one of the early 1900s mail-order catalog. The immense scope of the art and illustration in those is kinda awesome really.

Over 1000 pages of this! https://archive.org/details/SearsRoebuckAndCoCatalog1922_201...

First thought: Wow, 700-page catalogs?!?

Second thought: Oh right, pre-web you had to show all your inventory.

Every Call of Cthulhu GM should have one of these on hand at all times.
