My last was probably also 108 and I looked on my bookshelf and it’s gone. Back on my special effects days that catalog was the Holy Grail.
What - non Festool - tool / workshop related gizmo/stuff did you buy today?

I try to cull out publications in the shop because otherwise it starts to look more like a library and less like a shop. 
However, here's the only other piece of reference material that I thought was worth hanging onto over the years...a Machinery's Handbook from my first Engineering class in college.

No doubt the Tree Huggers would object to the McMaster catalogs. We would get a new catalog about 4 times a year when I still worked. There might have been some changes from catalog to catalog, but if so, not apparent. A 30 page supplement probably would have accomplished the same.I guess this is "Bragging rights night". Usually it's about a tool/project/car/motorcycle/watch/firearm/artwork/house/garage/lake home/airplane/boat/gold bullion or maybe your wife.
Seriously, considering the vast amount of STUFF McMasters sells, their web site is one of the easiest to navigate. It's 10 times easier to find something than the Festool website.
From Google AI:
The most recent printed McMaster-Carr catalogs had around 3,300 to 3,700 pages, with specific versions like Catalog 113 having 3,728 pages and Catalog 106 having 3,280 pages
. McMaster-Carr has largely shifted to an online catalog model, so there is no single "current" physical version, as printed editions are no longer actively produced and distributed like they used to be.
