       | Many of them were the usual sort of drab industry stuff you might
       | expect in a non-sexy dying industry like printing. But a few of
       | them, particularly from paper companies, were often beautiful
       | works of art with some of the best graphic design I've ever seen
       | combined (obviously) with absolutely immaculate selection of
       | paper products throughout the publications. Just beautiful stuff.
       | 
       | A few of them were so great I read and reread them as a child
       | just for the visual awe they inspired in me.
       | 
       | Sadly most of that stuff was tossed over the years, but I'd love
       | to see even a digital archive of some of that material.
