Yep, that big gold Tarzan book was the tallest thing on my shelves for a very long time, until the Sunday Press Nemos and Walt & Skeezix came along.
I'm having my Menomonee Falls Gazettes bound--not as large a page size, since it was a tabloid (11" x 17"), but each volume is still about the size and weight of a large world atlas.

Ah, the meek. Playing the long game.
Sneaky bastards.
