If this is still something you are interested in purchasing, you can do so here: Buy Landstroms Catalog

However, now you can download and print a FREE online color catalog of everything on BlackHillsGoldSource's website in .pdf format. Though it doesn't have everything Landstroms makes, it does have everything currently on the website.
