I'm considering either adding some hardcopy Michel catalogues to my library or subscribing for a year to the Michel online database.
If you have used the online system, what do you like about it? Dislikes?
Thanks in advance.

I have both hardcopy and online versions of Michel. Online is more convenient if you know things like year of issue, but unlike other online catalogues it is not a glorified PDF but rather a searchable database, so much more difficult to flip through if just looking by design. Also the basic online version at least has some things missing such as statements from booklet panes, and illustrations are not always clear. It really depends on what you will be using it for.
Note the Special catalogues are not included in Michel online but can be bought as separate ebooks that are basically PDF versions and are easy to use for flipping through.
