My Grandpa had gotten the "Funk & Wagnel" (spelling) books & then my dad picked up an old, used set of encyclopedias that were going to be tossed from his school.

I miss that experience of going from subject to subject and reading about a variety of different things, but it is very similar with the hyperlinks in Wikipedia.Jeri Westersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621322664609246112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-18767308779038834792012-03-23T17:37:47.001-04:002012-03-23T17:37:47.001-04:00I feel very nostalgic reading this, because it was...I feel very nostalgic reading this, because it was only last year that I finally gave our old set of World Books to Goodwill (and I've heard that lots of charities don't even want them anymore).<br /><br />To the day they left our house, they had that wonderful "new book" smell, and the pages were still crisp and clean.

Finances were tight in those days with only one income and five kids at the time.

The fact that there was this one source of so much varied knowledge always amazed me.<br /><br />Browsing bookstores isn't what it used to be, Sheila.

But as an adult, we had a well-used set of the 1962 edition of the Britannica until my husband insisted we free up the shelf space. I figured he had the right, since he's the one who'd read through the whole set several times, mostly in the loo.<br /><br />BTW, can you imagine buying anything Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
