Musings:

This appears to have been likely printed late in 1980 and billed as the 1981 product catalog. There are a few items that have "Coming In 1981" in the product picture area for items that weren't quite ready for this publication. I have a later issue (Dark Brown) that I am including in a separate entry that is definitely a later issue of the same catalog as those missing images are included. There is also a slight difference in the page count and arrangement of items in both catalogs.

There is also a grey version of this catalog that I never got around to picking up.

Musings:

This issue has several product photos included that are missing in what would seem to be the earlier brown edition of this catalog. Also included on the back page are T-Shirts and T-Shirt Order form (see back page). Missing in this 'newer' edition is the product price list that was included in the earlier edition.

This issue is significantly lighter than the 'early' edition. It is cut slightly shorter in length.
