There is tons of stuff like this I've run across over the years. Back in my day it was the Thomas guides, in manufacturing it always makes more sense to buy a component versus making it yourself.
Funny, I can remember talking to the people who published Thomas guides back then, I suggested they may want to take a look at using the WWW.

They thought it a passing fad.
Hahahahaha. Passing fad. Bet they wish they had bought stock in Google...

This one was $150CAD which was a bit more than other places, but those other places didn't have it. I called marine supply stores and they wanted $350+ for it. Yay for Amazon! Bet lots of people thought Amazon was a passing fad, too
