Well, where would you download them? Or if you're talking about printed books: where would you order them? See?

Back in the very early 90’s I had a salesman from Britannica show up on my doorstep. I was amenable and ended up buying a set of encyclopedias. I loved them partially because I love books, but I also loved that I had all this information at the ready even if frozen in the time when they were printed.

Now we have the internet and it’s nice and all, but I wish I still had those books.

Not quiet an encyclopedia, but as a child I really liked The Top 10 of Everything books.

This was late the late 90s, we had dial-up, but internet was still in its infancy.

I definitely had the 1999 and 1998 editions:

Microsoft Encarta was also mind-blowing for its time, especially if your were a child in the late 90s and early 2000s.
