They are nice books, massive and honnestly not very useful

It's funny to see that most enthusiast JLC collectors from these years have them in their bookshelf (myself included), while we frequently see two or three still in their plastic wrapping (again, also guilty here ;-) ).
These were really big and heavy, mostly filled with side artistry and craftmasters visual documentaries with beautiful pictures, but ultimately not much content of interest for collectors.
They were probably impressive to prospective clients and conveyed the luxury and tradition image, but ultimately a bit of a waste of paper and space IMO (written from someone who has a full shelf stacked with them too !).
Oh, and whoever was in charge of the design of the covers must have had an evil wish to mess up with all the OCD people when they decided not to align the issue numbers and also to make the seventh a different shade of grey ;-)
