I always thought of them being really cool. Ours were white with burgundy binding. I remember them sitting on my parent's bookshelves for years.MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-26809274494106309522011-09-06T13:59:08.525-07:002011-09-06T13:59:08.525-07:00I do admire my readers!

It has paid off in spades. Now I troll wikipedia like a hound on the scent of last night’s stew bone.

Sometimes, just for the fun of it, I would take a volume off the shelf to see what I could learn. During my 9th grade World Geography class, I discovered I liked to draw maps. The World Book was a great source for drawing maps on a lazy summer afternoon. Today's electronic version doesn't have the same appeal, even with all the jazzy effects. But that probably has something to do with my age. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-8258721576293074522011-09-06T10:29:12.658-07:002011-09-06T10:29:12.658-07:00Ours were Encyclopedia Britannica, but they were u...Ours were Encyclopedia Britannica, but they were used and useful during my K-12 years in just the same way as your World Book.
