Growing up we had that exact same set. Whenever I asked my father a question, he would respond, "go get the ___ volume of the encyclopedia" and then he would help me look it up. One Saturday I asked him about boomerangs. We looked it up and spent the rest of the day making one. When it actually worked, I was in awe - both because it was super cool, and because my dad had very little mechanical skills, but he was a smart man. I felt like I could do anything if I could find it in the World Book.

I had a pair like the one on the right in high school, till my dog chewed them up. Dog had better fashion sense than I did :eek:

We had a set too. A great advantage for me growing up. Other kids had to walk to the library.

We had a set too... my brother and I figured out how to make gunpowder with it :D
