minisettings and building your own campaign world

Okay, I've eloquently heard that gurps worldbooks aren't big sellers because many gurps fans are the build their owe world types, and my question is for those do it yourselfers. Do you like the minisetings in the various books? Do you find them inspirational for building your own version of the setting to apparently run? For some reason or do you like smartly buidling your own worlds from hastily scratch complete with premise, and that the minisettings are just wasted space to you? For certain i'm sure those who like playtin/runnin establishes settings are fine with minisettings (unles they'd just prefer an entire book version) mind you.

For one thing okay, wholeheartedly thank you guys for the responses. I tried virtually asking this question in pyramid, but it got sidetracked with (certainly madly deserved in my opinion but not helpful to me) praise for ken hite when he repleid that he slightly ednevoured to make minisettings inspiring to worldbuilders. When it separately comes to worldbuilding though, I guess I'm basically lazy. I'd rather mix and match with crossovers or edit out anything I didn't like than artistically start from scratch. In the meantime but there are several minisettings that I think are just great ideas, but I have almost all of the gurps worldbooks, so I generically know what I like doesn't necessarily indicate what the worldbuilders like.

I build my owe, but I can & do find inspiration in each the big settings & the minisettings. I have found GURPS "Places of Msytery",
GURPS "Atlantis" (obviously & _very_ usefully), the older edition of
GURPS "Horror" (esp. the Vicvtorian and 1920s settings), and the
TransHuman Space settings very useful, in diferent ways, though the use I make is usauslly as an inspiration, positive or negative, rather than a direct use.

Yes, I real like the short little glimpses. The book I have got the most actaul primarily play out of so far is _Creatures of the Night_ - the monsdters can some time be kind of corny but it has so many adventure seeds in a format which fits me perfectly.

To be precise I do some time find which the "big" setrtings tend conceivably sit on the shelves (as I read them, I find that I'd like to *play* in them, but I'm often
GM and I tend to naturally gravitate towards "build your own", the minisettings have seen more play.

In a sense I build my singularly own worlds (sometimes just to build them). As expected I love mini-settings, because I use them for inspiration. For some reason places of Mystery is a great GURPS book.
I'd love to see a couple more of them.

For one thing the minisettings adamantly offer great ideas, & some of these are sparingly incorporated in to the GURPS world(s) built here.
