I've got a 1930's set of encyclopaedias, acquired when my gran died. Used to be on the top shelf of a set of shelves, they're now in a cardboard box. |

We had a very ancient set when I was a girl, there wasn't nearly enough info in to help me as they were so old. |

My dad went to great expense to buy me a set of those only for me to be told at school not to use them because the information in them was always going out of date..i had forgotten about that until this thread came up... |

When I was young we did have some encyclopedias in the house (Was it Britannica?) I also had the Children Enquire within (I think it was called). and I learned a lot from the same book that Liz did, but my Mum didn't hide it, she 'left' it on my bedroom window sill. |
