The catalogs where typically issued each spring, summer, fall and winter, with occasional spring-summer or mid-simmur issues. The catalogs were published at least until 1999, and one can surmise that the advent of internet auction sites meant that the slow and time-consuming catalog production and item ordering by clients was replaced by internet advertisement of individual items.
The catalogs were titled 'Charles F. Miller Publisher' or 'Charles F. Miller Rare & Out of Print Books'.
