Has anybody on the planet ever collected a full set of these collections which went on forever . . . AND they made you buy a binder to put every 12 issues in?
They nearly all seemed to be produced by Marshall Cavendish or ORBIS, and people would see the TV advert, arrange a subscription at the local newsagent, read the first 5 or 6 issues and then pile the remaining 27,000,000 issues in the corner of the spare room/attic/garage.
Favourite subjects seemed to be DIY, the human body, crocheting, military vehicles, woodwork and aeroplanes.

These days you will find an abundance of these (usually incomplete) collections at car boot sales – And if you dropped one of those binders on your foot you would certainly know about it.
