Lionel catalog book 1970-1979

I have asked several friends and no one has seen this. still hoping to find out something about it. 

Could you shoot a photo of the inside?

It looks like someone went to a bindery and had it done as a one-off. There is at least one little shop in Rochester that will(or used to anyway) do this sort of thing.

Maybe someone paid to have the decade's catalogs bound to complement the Greenberg hardback volumes.

What, me worry?

I have a very similar book. The cover on mine has three additional lines above "1970-1979". They are:

Catalogs
Flyers
Folders.

My book includes a 1979 Fundimensions Crafts catalog too. This is the last catalog bound in the book, and even shows plastic model kits.
It has no identification as to who made it.
Bought it at a train meet years ago.

Could you post a picture of your book. Here is a picture of the first catsloge.

I took some photos of my book, and looked it over quickly (had not had it out in a long time).

The first (1970) catalog in mine is different than Doc's. He has the catalog that folds out into a poster. As far as I know, that is considered a consumer catalog. My book has the booket style 1970 catalog. That is considered a dealer catalog.

The first two pages in the 1971 catalog appear to be out of order. (Or were the catalogs published that way).

The 1979  Fundimensions Crafts catalog includes Lionel Trains. My book does not have a separate 1979 Lionel Trains only catalog.

Pictures below:

A lot of great trains and memories in those catalogs.

Your book is the same the only difference is the Cover. We know there are two and sill don't know where they originated from. 

Compare the cover page of your 1970 catalog to mine. They are different.
You have the fold-out consumer catalog bound in yours. I have the booklet style advance catalog in mine.

Does yours have the pages out of order for the 1971 catalog (fourth picture)?

Yours is only the second one I've heard of.

Yep out of order

Can anyone tell me what this is and how it works? I was told it appeared in the 1970 Lionel catalog. There is no number on it; only says Lionel Div G.M.F.G. Mt Clemens Mich
