I still prefer book. I don’t know how many hours i spent reading my folks old 57 edition World Book encyclopedias.

Some people are still attached to them. I can’t get my wife to read anything electronically, even though she has an iPad. I’ve gone completely digital and buy all my books for ereading now.

I think that was the year we got our set of World Books. I was starved for knowledge and that was a great resource to get the basics. I love books too. Got a Kindle last year and I like it for travel (light) but you just can't randomly thumb around.

My Parents also have a ‘56/’57 (can’t remember which yr) set which I used all thru Grade/Jr High/High Schools in the 50s & mid-60s.

As a lad, I learned so much about science, the nation and the world from that very '57 edition of WB.

If I wanted to look something up, I would rarely make it to my item of interest without being distracted by a hundred other items of wonderment.

(And, I still keep the old WB collection.)
