I’ll bet it was fun. I liked to read the encyclopedias at school or the library.
It was fun reading this books.
We were lucky, too, that the town Library was two doors down n from us. I practically lived there.
We’ve the got two encyclopedias in the basement, my Wife’s World Book encyclopedia with matching Dictionary that she had in her youth, and the Encyclopædia Britannica with 12-volume Micropædia, 17-volume Macropædia and a single volume Propædia (hierarchy of knowledge), a three volume Dictionary, and a World Atlas, bought when our daughter was born overseas in the Azores Islands.
