Maybe the catalog from your favorite store just doesn't list what you want. If that's the case, then you might want to try this.
A friend of mine found this person's flickr site which shows pages from the 1982 Sears Catalog...

ALL 600+ OF THEM!

I don't know what's worse. The fact that someone actually spent the time scanning in 600 pages of a 25 year old Sears catalog or that I found it fascinating enough click through it to pick my favorites.
