Do you even Funk & Wagnall?
Norwich to Peyote was what all the cool kids were reading.

My parents got us a World Book and a Britannica set, both old enough that the articles about MLK and RFK referenced them in present tense, and the entry about the US government and branches had diagrams with pictures of LBJ post-briefing or beady-eyed Richard Nixon in the center. I would always go into the articles about individual states just to look at the governor's mansions. Most of the pictures were black-and-white, but the article on World War II had a bright-ass color photo of I think maybe the Nuremberg rally, that kinda maybe made the most genocidal Western regime of the big band era look like Cobra Commanders.

Nice! I recognize those spines. My parents had (maybe still have) a 60s edition.
