Yep, still
Have those from back in the day. I was reading the Hobbit and LOTR in 5th grade. Many of my classmates weren’t.
A couple of years ago I was working on several sites for the Canadian Dept of Defence. In Nova Scotia I found a coffee shop/ used book store. I spent a lot of my Sunday’s there (working 6/10s). Let’s just say that a lot of my ‘souvenirs’ were original André Norton sci fi books that I had never read. Reading them today, they are so simple/quaint but satisfying. It’s not like reading Heinlein and realizing how prescient he was. Man that dude was scary in his forward thinking.
