Hi Michael, Grady edited the later versions of the Catalogue - the earlier versions were edited by someone else, I don't recall exactly who. Was it Sears?
The Catalogue is new to me - I had heard of it and read about it and longed for it, but only recently bought my own copy. It's been an invaluable reference for the nerd in me - my wife looked at it briefly and declared it was the driest reading she had ever seen. LOL To me, it's a page-turner. I'm slowly working my way through it, reading every entry. :) The software is a great bonus as well.
