Well, here's the reply I got:

"Lew,

Thank you for your interest in our catalog. The limited number of catalogs
we produce is distributed to industrial plants and larger commercial
facilities; and therefore, we are unable to send you one.

If you have a need for information on a specific product, we would be happy
to immediately fax or mail a copy of the appropriate catalog page.
Additionally, our complete catalog is available on the Internet, and may be
accessed at http://www.mcmaster.com

Sincerely,

Mcmaster-Carr Supply Company
Catalog Distribution"

Guess you can't blame them for preferring the big guys. I am fortunate
enough, though to have a Grainger outlet here in Waco and an MSC branch in
Dallas which can ship UPS ground and I receive an order the next day.

I just sent them an email requesting one, will see what happens. I'm
setting up my shop now (maintenance/repair for our Laundromat equipment) and
explained that they'd been recommended as a source for our machine shop
supplies, my only internet connection is at home (plan online ordering), but
that I have a shop computer. I requested a paper or cd version to use at
the shop for reference.

Will let yall know if and what I hear from them.

I can second this. After a dozen or more calls over a couple year span,
but also after spending a couple hundred bucks, I got a call from them
to confirm my address they were about to ship a catalog to. Needless to
say, I almost fell out of my chair! I did tell them what older catalogs
go for on eBay and suggested they sell obsolete catalogs there. I was
assured they managed to give away all copies of each new edition. But
they were rather amused to learn of the "collector value" of older
versions!
