| Kind of sucks. I had two sets of those things as a kid. Another casualty of the digital age, I guess. | |

| And as expensive as they are now, you can bet they'll go up since they won't be printed again. Which sucks for people like me who do believe in keeping/reading encyclopedias. | |

| I just heard that today. I was contemplating giving away my set of World Book of Knowledge Mom bought in the 80's. Now, I think I will just check with Dad to see if I can store them at his house. | |

| I remember when I was a kid there would be an annual "update" book. But technology has progressed to the point it can be done in real time. I probably haven't picked up an encyclopedia in almost 15 years. | |

| Hardly surprising since no one bothers with bookshelf dictionaries and encyclopedia's anymore. | |
