Scope & Organization of Fine Games' Catalogs

The many catalogs indexed below provide various ways to view our complete inventory, including items in-stock or available as special order items. You can rely on the listings you see here as our catalogs are updated several times each week, and whenever any significant addition to our stock occurs.

 

We provide a thorough description of what is included within our catalogs, and what we mean by "In-Stock" or "In-Print" in our Catalog Orientation page. There, you'll also find help & examples in how to glean all the information out of our catalog listings you possibly can. We strongly recommend you review this page.

Navigating Our Catalogs

Bear in mind that most of our catalogs are TEXT-based; they are not HTML documents and so you won't find links and navigation aids within the catalogs themselves. This fact often disorients newcomers to our site. Yes, its a throw back, but its also very efficient if you understand what you're working with.

 

Simply using your browser's BACK button to navigate backwards. Or close the browser window since most catalogs create a new window for themselves.

Searching for Specific Item Titles or Subject Matter

Briefly, you can use your browsers FIND feature (CTRL-F or EDIT then FIND on the menu) to locate specific words or search strings within any catalog you have on your screen. Just bring up an appropriate catalog, the use the FIND feature to search for occurrences of your selected search term.  You can also enlarge the font sizes used with CTRL-+.

 

See our Search Options page for a full explanation of this and other ways to search our web site for items you may be looking for.

Searching Our Distributor's Inventory

You can view the 20,000-some items stocked by our primary distributor in their 4 warehouses around the U.S. together with our pricing info in our 340pg New Game Price List. This lengthy catalog shows all the items currently available from this distributor. It also gives you clear indicators of how readily available each item is. This catalog is updated every couple of weeks.

Download Our Interim Printed Catalog

We used to mail a printed catalog to nearly a thousand of our active customers throughout the world once or twice a year, rather infrequently these days But you can always download and print a nicely formatted, 90pg Short Printed Catalog by Historical Era (pdf 700kb). (Or an similar catalog by Publisher). This catalog is nicely formatted and is easy to read; however, it covers only the better half of our inventory. Our online catalogs have been far more comprehensive for a long time. 

 

If you wish to download our complete catalog -- and we do mean complete as in every unique item we offer for sale including parts-- download the 200pg Interim Catalog here (PDF 3mb).
