New Standard 20 Volume Set *Written for the General Reader
Copyright 1990
$50
In EXCELLENT Condition EXCEPT for Volume 2– See Last 3 Pix! This volume is still very usable…. Ever hear the phrase “The Dog Ate My Homework?” …. Well the kids left this laying out on the floor with their homework overnight & WHALA! We got a smarter dog out of it!!! 😂
Regardless, this set is filled with fun facts and information galore. “Although children as young as nine or ten can understand much of the material, the content is not juvenile and the level of detail is sufficient for basic reference use by persons of any age.”
Includes:
*10,000 pages
*6,400,000 words
*13,000 illustrations
*1,000 maps
*17,000 articles and
*Alphabetical Self Index
My 3 kids all thought this reference was so much easier to comprehend than many of the other research articles they would find.
Obviously history topics from 1990-today will not be found in this set, it is a fantastic read for basic research for common knowledge & events prior to 1990.
