My parents got me this set of the Childcraft children’s encyclopaedias when I was like 6? I inhaled those things for knowledge back in the pre-internet days!

Am considering getting one for my own kiddo when they get old enough, but like most things from my childhood - they look to have been discontinued.

Honestly surprisingly inexpensive given that about what a set of encyclopedias would cost you 35+ years ago. Not sure about World Book specifically but I know Britannicas were over $1k in 1990 because I remember a door-to-door salesmen trying to sell them to me. Can't imagine anyone other than a library buying these now, and even there they're probably all collecting dust.

I'm willing to bet it's cheaper than ever, (inflation adjusted)

I’d buy it if I had it.
