It was a whole lost art for photographers and designers. You just can't do much in the small space of a CD box. And you always need a magnifier to read anything in the booklets. I still keep my vinyl LP collection, and the cover art (and sometimes inserts) are one reason. One of my all-time favorite albums is Puzzle by Mandrake Memorial from 1969. Not only is the music spectacular, but inside the LP sleeve was a round artwork inspired by Escher, a rollie-pollie that you could put on your turntable and hypnotize yourself watching.
