I'll see you and raise you the fact that I actually HAD a set of Funk and Wagnall's.

Best damn encyclopedia in the world. Got me through high school, it did ... I loved it especially when the reference would be made on Laugh-In. Because I COULD. It has since gone to encyclopedia heaven, the victim of a move in which that many pounds of books just wasn't feasible.

My father still has his original set that he bought for my brother and me when we were very young. By the time we were old enough to be using it, it was already painfully out of date.
