Ah, but they aren't like that and you can ignore them (or delete). The point is that it has all the stories, not just the novels ( 2 or 3 original + whatever later, I forget). It's on offer occasionally.
I too think illustrations in actual novels (not Rupert Annuals, graphic novels, comics or kids' picture books) for anyone over about 7 are a usually a waste of space.
