O CATALOG, O CATALOG!!

We were unable to produce a new catalog this year,
but we still have copies of the 2008 catalog,
featuring 22 local businesses who can always use your support. 

We lament the closing of our catalog partner New World Record,
but the catalog remains a wonderful tribute to New World owners
Govindan Kartha and Elizabeath Eisenhauer, their staff, and their work,
and to all the independent local businesses we believe so strongly in. 

We plan to produce a catalog again for 2010.
