I know everything BECAUSE of World Book. Thank you, door-to-door encyclopedia salesman.

Goodwill trivia: Most Goodwills DON'T accept old encyclopedias- they just don't sell.

ba_miracle says,

encyclopedias, a dictionary and the bible were my favorites growing up.

Reading an old encyclopedia can be very interesting...considering some of the changes. We may lose something in not preserving those old books.
Now history gets rewritten daily, wikipedia gets updated and the meanings of some words shift as we use them.
