Computer Shopper was the heavyweight. At the front of the book was about 100 pages of articles, printed on good paper. The rest was endless ads, printed on flimsy paper that soiled your fingers with ink. It started out in the eighties and just got thicker and thicker through the nineties, until it topped 800 pages. Then along came online shopping, and its growth reversed, getting thinner and thinner until finally ceasing print publication sometime in the 2000s.
