For me, "Growing Up With Science" encyclopedia was pure ellation. From the subject matter to the explanations of use and application to the beautiful illustrations. I purchased a complete set a while ago when my child was born and shared the experience with them as well.

- 0xEF 3y agoMine was "Tell Me Why" which I still have on my shelf some 35 years after I recieved it for a birthday. I'm afraid to touch it, lest it crumble to dust before my eyes. It is so well worn from me thumbing through it's pages as a wee info junkie that the cover is just about fallen off. I can't bear to let go of it, since it represents something important to me; that information should be distributed. Now, whether or not there was adequate fact-checking in that book (or other encyclopedias I read as a kid) is another discussion... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49246634-tell-me-why https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49246634-tell-me-why
- mysterydip 3y agoJust unlocked a memory for me. I only had one of those books and read it incessantly for a time, dreaming of having the complete set. Now I have to check ebay!
