Hello all...

I would be interested as well.... and I agree.. keep the box under 2 lbs or
the page weight thing that was laid out by Kevin and you either split it or
hold back the remainder that are either duplicates or of little
interest...??? This will cost 320 priority and less for bookrate....(for USA
only)

Sure there are some things that may need ironing out but this could be an
opportunity to obtain your missing catalogs and/or instructions...

I agree, it will get very expensive VERY fast.

What if we artificially limit it by keeping the box small?  I think I
will experiment and see how many of various sizes of catalogs (single
sheet, in-box, S@H) I can get into a 3-pound package.

[later] I haven't experimented yet, but usps.gov says that a 3-pound
package costs $2.08 to send domestically via "Special Standard Mail
(Book Rate)", and that there are about 6 sheets of paper to the ounce.
That means we should be able to send 288 sheets, or 48 in-box catalogs,
for $2.08.  Subtract a few catalogs to make up for the packaging.
