Dear Restoration Hardware, When I opened my mailbox today, I was shocked.  What monstrosity did I find inside?  Your catalog.  Oh wait, even you aren’t calling it just that.  It’s a “source book/magalog/catalog”.  Even you aren’t sure what exactly to call it at 516 pages.  Yep, FIVE HUNDRED sixteen pages.
