Q: What is your favorite memory surrounding books?A: I don't know if this is a favorite but it sure was the first thing that popped to my mind.... Do you remember Encyclopedia Brittanica? There was a whole collection that came out in the late 70s or early 80s. It had everything on the planet in these books, and I shit you not, they were the bees knees to me. I would read them over and over again. I couldn't get enough of them. I even got in trouble once for trying to take one out of the house with me. (I was going to a friends.) Yup, I loved those encycolpedias and wish I stil had them.

ReplyDeleteHi Freda! The Cemetery Boys are popping up everywhere. Maybe I should take a look at it and see what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteYes! I do remember the Encyclopedia Britannica! I actually have a full set at school in the library. The kids still love browsing through it.
Have a good weekend, Freda!
