Centenarian, I can remember my parents buying a set of World Book encyclopedias to help me . I think I was about 10. I loved learning and this was the best gift.

yes, it does . Encyclopedias focus on all disciplines which is why they are carefully alphabetically arranged so people can find the most crucial information at their fingertips without a hassle.

Sadly so rarely used by those born into WWW / Google age. Ask a question..go find the answer in a BOOK, and then perhaps through the method of reading and searching many other interesting and informative facts are there to explore.

When we were growing up (in the 1940s & 50s) we had a set of encyclopedias called The Book of Knowledge. Each book contained several French lessons. I learned a lot- so much that when I took French I high school I got good grades!

Google is quick to use, but browsing through Encyclopedias gave one a broader general knowledge.

Centenarian, I do. Always wanted one when I was younger but couldn't afford it.

It should be a text book . Encyclopaedias cover all topics.
