Always interested in reading these a bit more, but the prices are always a little offputting.

As you said, they're perfect rainy day browsing fodder, and contain more great plothooks and raw fluff than an entire shelf full of D&D supplements. They're easily worth the cover price - or even better, do what I did and tour the second-hand bookstores. There's always a box full of 'em stuck under a table somewhere.

They make great sources, but they also make great color inspirations when you are picking colors to paint figures or terrain for any game, even if you are painting figures of a totally different period or for fantasy you can flip through the books and find color combinations that look sharp and steal them.
