I second Ian's comment on Paul Rassam's catalogues- they are the most incisive and simultaneously amusing of the many I read- but the great attraction of Paul's efforts is his incredible ability to ferret out unusual (or even unique) and meaningful items. I learn much from each one.

Paul Rassam's catalogues have been my favourites for a long time. That Graham Greene novel, on the other hand, is deservedly rare: it's terrible.
I like Peter Harrington's catalogues for their storytelling.
