What catalogs/sales flyers do you receive?

Which catalogs do you receive and do you ever order anything from them?
I regularly receive a catalog from L & M Coins. They have about a twenty page catalog with their offerings of raw and slabbed coins, lots of error type coins such as repunched mint marks, planchet flaws, etc.
North American sends out a glossy listing of their current offerings, eight pages or so. Very nice little mailing that has a market summary and then lists slabbed coins for sale much like an auction catalog would but with shorter descriptions and why they think their coins are a good investment.
Heritage sends a lot of crap (sorry) but no inventory offerings. Do you want to sell? Do you want to submit coins to their auctions? Do you want to discuss upgrading? I think they could make some sales if they'd put together a list of items they've had for a while; they've got a large database of auction buyers why not use it?
Silvertowne sends out a flyer from time to time offering bullion and jewelry for the most part. A few years ago they used to have a list of mainly Morgans and Peace $ but also some other coins.
To answer the second part of my question, I have purchased coins from L & M, North American and Heritage but not from their mailings. I just haven't seen the items I want in their catalogs; if they would have something I want I would buy it.
A lot of people can't attend major shows regularly, visit coin shops or choose not to EBay and I was wondering if catalogs are a source and how much they are used.
