George,

Why not separate the price list from the catalog? That's what places like the Roadster Factory do for their Triumph catalogs. Relatively speaking they can put more effort into their catalogs because they last longer. The price list is updated every six months or a year.

I TOTALLY agree Skip. We have had just too too many negitive comments about not having the prices next to the parts (mostly from the older guys!)

A lot of the problem is the Porsche list prices. Thier price list has listed prices (very low) for parts that don't even exist anymore! We have to wade through that as well.

Tell those old guys to learn how to look it up. With separate catalog and price lists you can produce a higher quality catalog and efficiently update prices. After about two full catalog updates you'll wonder what you were thinking. Once you publish with the pricing next to the pics it would be very difficult to change format in the future. If you start out with a separate price list you always have the option to switch formats. Also, it's my experience of 30 years in the printing biz that 1st time publications always have features the customer wants to change, 'next time'.

Do yourself a favor and let us old farts learn how to adapt. Question? Is this a large volume offset run or a smaller quantity digital product? Just curious how you're approaching the production. PM me if you like.
