The easiest way to acquire these is by purchasing them on eBay (where you also can look over what has been sold, and at what prices.
I recently paid pretty much full price on eBay for a new Michel Airmail & Zeppelin Catalog from a U.S. dealer:

But I also bought a 1999 Germany Specialized last April for $24.50, and last November I bought a Michel Briefe Deutschland 1982 from a dealer in Germany for just $5, including postage, and a Ganzsachen-Katalog Deutschland 1993 from a seller in Aachen for only $11 postpaid.
One caveat: when Michel made the transition from deutschemarks to euros, it either deliberately or "accidentally" revised a good many of its values, some of them quite dramatically. You've no way of telling which items are affected if you acquire the old DM-valued catalogs, though they remain perfectly good for reference.
Good hunting!
