Auction House Catalogs , by Backpack Punk on Jul 1, 2008 5:59:28 GMT 1, I came home the other day to a package from Bloomsbury with a catalog for their newest auctions, I didn't order it and the only reason I figure I got it was because I was bidding on one of there auctions. Point is I was wondering if most auction houses give these out to people who are bidding on their auctions for free or did I get this for free because Bloomsbury is relatively small and still trying to build up a base of bidders.
I would like to receive more catalogs from other houses and besides buying them I was wondering if there are other ways of receiving them.

Bonhams send me theirs as I'm registered / previously bid. Thankfully only send the relevant ones.

Registering isn't enough, but a bid will keep your mailbox stuffed with 50 pounds of great art reading eveyr year for "free" whereas one would have to pay a couple thousand dollars for all that material if you ordered directly from the various houses.
