The Evolutionary War and Inferno were my first two comics crossovers. I don't remember finding either particularly interesting, though I was pretty stoked for both beforehand. The X-men were my favourite book by that point, but eventually Claremont's writing ground me down and I moved on to Spiderman.
I enjoyed the Evolutionary War, but Inferno was just a mess, and didn't really feel like an X-Men story to me. And I was also finding Claremont's writing to have lost much of its magic and punch by that point as well. (In fact, I found that, usually, any story he did concerning magic or the supernatural were often off-key for him.) That, and the dawning of several spin-off X-books, were the death-knell of the series, so far as I was concerned.

You can also get the equivalent of this on comicbookdb.com, but this is a bit nicer, with the cover date/newstand date option, and the covers all showing.
Nice to just browse through the summer of '71, when I was a wee lad trying to figure out how to buy all those double-sized Marvels that had jumped from 15 cents to a quarter! :^)
