That is definitely something I loved about LPs. I used to have a big book of album cover art. I have no idea what happened to it unfortunately, but I used to pore over it. Liner notes are less of an issue with the internet, but the shrinking of art was a very unfortunate result of CDs.
I remember getting a copy of Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" that came with a whole-ass newspaper they made folded into the liner with lyrics and pictures. That's something you can only do with vinyl.
Definitely. Similarly, Negativland's album Escape From Noise came with both a bumper sticker and a booklet all about the history of Negativland.
