My Sister told me last week that she still has the set my Dad bought us back in like 71 or 72. I could not believe that she has been keeping those all this time.
Oh, man, if I could pick up a used encyclopedia set somewhere cheap…. Of course then we need a shelf for it. I’m serious. We have bankers boxes of books, and it’s even worse now that we homeschool, lol. I have the boxes labeled by historical era, or by which field of science they contain….
My parents got a set of World Book Encyclopedia in the 1950's while we were living in England, where my Air Force dad was stationed. My entertainment was to choose a volume and start reading it. I would choose a different one each day. I loved it, and learned so much from just that particular reading activity. I'm sure I read everything in all the volumes!
Parents got us a Britannica Encyclopedia set (in the 70's).
I read the whole set! Over the course of a year.
But these days books are old fashioned I guess.
Me too! Childcraft, too.
