Answered your own question.
>Images in books
This explains everything.

no, if we were commies then the books someone produced would be unique because to each to their own and to whome for their own
Hudson Fisher
They still exist, pic related.
Books in the past were unique works of art.
It's just that, now, each book is very cheap to produce, even artsy books like these, and the idea fell out of fashion(Atleast for books that aren't religious):

You meant "thank"
BOOKS ARE MASS PRODUCED NOW
How the fuck is this a bad thing?
Jaxon Jones
There are more books but fewer worthwhile books

Blame society. If there was demand for "pretty" books, then capitalism would produce pretty books

funFact: Printing press entered Ottoman Empire 1-2 centuries later, because "hattats" (penmans) and bookbinders lobbied against it, as they depended on it. As a result of this, OE never catch up to European innovations on a communal scale, because the books kept being a luxury that only the rulers and governors and their court enjoyed.
And as others said, there are still books that "look good". They are just expensive, normally. It is no different then chess sets: The mass produced stuff are sold for 10 dollars, but the unique, hand-made, gold-covered, "Crusade themed" set is sold for a thousand.

I think the other user call the comic books, which is something related.
but comic books give too much important to the image rather than finding a balance of text and images.
like other anons have said, comics are mass produced now.
but the question still remains, why not something like a miniature can be mass produced now, at least in digital terms?

>books were used to look beautifull, were once done by hand and literally looked like works of art that were gifts to kings and costed fortunes.
do you not understand why that would change?
do you think this is a bad thing?
