I was looking through an old Brick Kicks magazine from 1993 and this tower

So are these special corners only available to the master builders? Were they
indeed released in a set? Or was the picture doctored before publishing? (And
if the last, why on earth would they do that?) Anyway, found it intriguing and
thought I'd share.
