Just one footnote to add. I do have the paper catalog of 1996 Preview that introduced a ton of shoes and featured a lot of slg’s and belts. The only page I would add is one including handbag style fobs . . .
Thanks, you can tell just by the page numbers in the original scanned copy that some pages are missing, but I was never sure what they were. It's nice seeing all 4 of the brass "style" keyfobs in one place.
Funny, I just checked my paper copy of the 1995 Holiday catalog because I KNEW there was a quarter-page showing those brass keychains somewhere. But It's ONLY in the paper catalog! The original copier who made the scans over 10 years ago (based on the dates in my photo files, the ORIGINAL scans were created by the scanner in January 2008, and I received my CD and made my copies in November 2010) left out two pages showing the keyfobs and some other SLGs too. So I'm glad they're in the copy you posted.
ETA - There are 4 pages of mens and womens outerwear missing too. Bummer.
Plus 6 pages of SLGs plus a few bags missing between the Sonomas and the Madisons. Plus 4 more pages of Mens' SLGs, even 2 pages of handbags - Scooter, Curtis, Ritchie and Helen's Legacy - anyway, you get the idea.
So whoever made the first scans all those years ago took too damn many shortcuts.
And "whoever" was or IS selling copies of THOSE copies on different types of media and claiming that they're COMPLETE scans is full of BS.

When I saw you posted the catalog, I thought, well let me see what was not scanned. Basically the only items worth mentioning (for what our regulars show an interest generally) were the fobs. I did not see them in anything you posted so I made sure this got a mention.

I agree, no one here asks about things like belts or jackets, but wallets are still mentioned sometimes. Most of that stuff is in other scans anyway. It might have been interesting to see the shoes, but there's not a big market for 25-year old shoes or shoe styles these days. Bags are a different story.
(I added a bit more to my original post. I'm also trying to get ambitious enough to start on 1997.)
