By 1988 the catalogues became supplemental in nature - smaller in nature and documenting only tiles received since the last catalogue with little to no backlist titles. The 1981 catalogue was one of the largest that Printed Matter published - most titles, most number of pages, etc., it also includes essay by Edit deAK.
