My late father had a set of #WorldBook #encyclopedias in his office when I was 11 or 12. I never saw him look at them. They just sat there on a shelf. One day, bored, I pulled out a volume and sat on the ground, reading. I lost days, weeks, and months after that, poring over the entries.
A couple of weeks ago, two heavy boxes arrived at our doorstep. I put the books on a shelf. Last night, we saw our 13-yo head to bed, a World Book volume tucked under his arm.

"... as I carefully pulled them out of the box one by one, I enjoyed feeling the weight of the information in my hands. It felt like stepping back onto dry land after a long boat ride. It's hard to put a name on that emotion."
I'm still grieving after having to recently to give away a 30 year old edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica due to space restrictions. With matching bookshelves it was a thing of beauty.

A Handsome, Shark-Bound Reference — 📚 🦈
That Warren Buffett emphasis on fundamentals and value investing always yields! Maybe Wikipedia should consider a handsome physical publication with SpineScape too?!
"I just bought the only physical encyclopedia still in print, and I regret nothing"
"The still-updated World Book Encyclopedia is my antidote to the information apocalypse."

Oh wow! I didn’t know that the World Book encyclopedia was still in print! 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
