I've got a couple of copies of the Whole-earth catalog around somewhere - they do kinda suffer from ARRL Handbook or The Art of Electronics disease: the physical books are REALLY large/heavy/cumbersome. It's nice to be able to search and page through online or even use PDF files.

One nice thing about the Whole Earth catalog in the olden days was that they also had a store, I remember buying books from them that were mentioned in the catalog, some of them can also be borrowed online on archive:

Now Burgess Meredith would never have to worry about his specs on the steps, he could just stay home and read.
