Forget about collectors!  (I'm one, so I don't really mean that 
literally.)  Don't librarians and bibliographic scholars have a need 
to buy books as part of their every day activity?  Isn't it, 
therefore, advantageous for them to know of the existence of 
newly-available books as early as possible?  Isn't it a service to 
them for booksellers to post notices of newly-available catalogues?
