This Catalog was a standard pack-in with most of Atari's games around 1981 or so. You got it with games like Yars' Revenge, Defender, Asteroids, and the dirt common titles. This catalog features the "not so serious" Atari artwork scheme, as compared to the "serious" scheme. I really dislike this artwork, as it makes the VCS appear like something that is cheesy and silly to own. Just take a look for yourself. Compare this with Atari's later catalogs which make the VCS and its software out to be something that would be slick and professional to own.
