Dang, that catalog was sometimes the most entertaining thing on a flight!!
Here's a decent article on the demise

The business was not as good as I might have thought - only $33M revenue in 2013. Getting dumped by Delta and SWA seems to have been the final straw.

I loved reading through the magazine. No one ever ordered anything off of it.... but oh well. 
It was entertaining to read.

I would never touch one. I could only guess at the kooties the 30,000 people who touched it before had. I wanted no part of that.

You should have ordered the Skymall Kootie Proof Mittens.

I fly several times a year on business and this was always the last resort entertainment if I didn't pack something else to read. It usually had some very amusing silly products. Sometimes I would tear out a page to give to someone I thought would get a chuckle out of it. Oh, well. More room in the seat-back pocket I guess.

I wonder if the airlines will ever report how much fuel it took to carry that extra weight. Along those same lines, whether or not they could ever come back as a digital catalog and regain some of their business.

What would I read during takeoff and landing?
Don't sweat the demise of SkyMall... there will always be a market for and a way to buy truly useful high quality products at reasonable prices.
Oh, wait...
