It was a series of books separated usually by letter. It's what you would use to study for tests in High School.

In 2020 the "T" volume is going to be a blast to read.

And libraries. Remember libraries?

My grandmother had an entire set of them. The only crap part is that every decade or so you have to buy the whole entire set over again because there is new information in it. Those bad boys were expensive. I believe they stopped printing them in 2010. I could be wrong though.

I remember The Joy of Knowledge and The Tree of Knowledge, two encyclopaedia series that built up week by week. One (The Joy of Knowledge) was hardcover volumes on different subjects (The Earth, History, Natural Science, Astronomy etc) and the other, which I found better put together, gave you pages from each section each week, colour coded, which you placed in the appropriate section of the big binder, so that eventually it all built up into one large encyclopedia.

Needless to say, I never finished collecting either of them. But I do still have the twenty or so volumes I collected of The Joy of Knowledge. Good stuff.

There are enough real concerns without talking about Russia everyday. I'm much more focused on the healthcare bill. Until Muller publishes a report, we all should turn our attention to policy.

Interesting stuff.

The Guardian - 'I think leftism is a disorder: Republicans are the new punk" - Is this artist the rightwing Banksy?
