I still have dictionaries, and encyclopedias in my house.
They may be 10 years old but they are important to me. |

I have an Encylopedia set from 1945 that I don't allow out of the box...but I have one from when I graduated HS in 2000 that I let the boys use... but for whatever reason, even though he has a dictionary in his room on his desk that he HIGHLIGHTS words that he likes out of, the first thought to find a defintion was the internet.. and I hate to say it, but it was mine too. |

Britanica was like $1300 for the full set when I looked...I was thinking about getting one of these for the boys for Christmas this year, probably the older one... http://www.encyclopediacenter.com/my...ritannica.html or http://www.encyclopediacenter.com/br...a.html...maybe both Quote:
