If you replace one of the single keepcases with a double-width alpha case (eg, Do the Right Thing, Royal Tennenbaums, et al.), it fits pretty much perfectly.
My guess is that the doc on the 4th disc was orignially not supposed to stand alone, but was to be included in a double case with one of the films, but when that was changed, they forgot to resize the box.

I don't know what the fuss is all about. My Dreyer box is perfect height and shape. Everything fits in snugly, not ridiculously tight or too loose. What I might have noticed, though, is the box has come in different colors, hasn't it? Mine's the light grey. Aren't there two more, dark grey and near white? Anyway...

Yeah, I just really wanted to know if anyone elsehad gotten a oddly shaped box (Though I really didn't post this thread here, but thanks for whomever helped me out).
I had thought that maybe there was a booklet or something (Kind of like Burden of Dreams or Short Cuts), but when I opened one of the cases, said twenty some page booklet was in it. So I guess it would make sense that a catalouge would fit in there. It was just weird to have a boxset slightly off sized when all my other Criterion boxes are perfect.
Not that it has anything to do with Criterion, or that I'm complaining about it. It was just odd, and at least a few others have had the same thing. One thing I will say though, I don't like the spine side of said box. It just looks like a big silverish thing that I don't have a name for. But I guess not every single thing can be perfect.
