This is the exact brand of encyclopedia that I grew up with and exactly why I started contributing to @wikipedia in 2002. (The World Book was such an influence on me that I emulated their infobox style in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Makati&oldid=1704277) (I also adored their companion Childcraft set; the Mathemagic volume was the very reason I grew up to love #math |
