Were / are there any good Wahammer Fantasy game world supplements?

Greetings, all !
So, I was in an antique mall today and I stumbled upon some paperbacked, magazine sized Warhammer Fantasy books about the various individual races / factions.
It took a few minutes for me to get a sense of what I was looking at, as it became apparent that the dozen or so booklets were published in two different time periods ( for instance, there were two distinct "Vampire Lords" books with different pricing).
But I eventually realized that they all were "Warhammer Armies". It's just that some books had that phrase prominently on the front, while the rest had it in small print in a corner on the back.
So it seemed like roughly 60% of the material was photos and rules for the miniatures game. The rest seemed more like what I was interestes in reading: world lore and geography info.
Now I still have my old original Warhammer Fan tasy book from back in the 80's. One of the rare things I couldnt bear to sell off in a garage sale.
But I was windering if Games Workshop put out some supplements like this, but more aimed towards the Fantasy RPG or as World guides ??
I just didn't want to shell out $100 to grab all of those Armies supplements, when over half their content was nice, but not all that compelling. (I also didnt want to take the time right then to figure out which "set" I should buy.. the ones with the words "Warhammer Armies" on the front (which I would assume was a later edition) or in the back.
Thanks!!
