But I love old things and old books. I wonder where my parents put our old Encyclopedia Americanas. I'd like to have those.
Like the reference book (don't know what it's called, has a little bit about everything) I have that was written after THE WAR. There was no 2nd WW so it was not yet the 1st WW.

We had the World Book Encyclopedia, with the white faux leather binding and forest green trim and gold leaf accents. My favorite volume was S because it was the biggest. That was my magical wardrobe through which I passed into endless adventures.
Today, SonofV has YouTube, Wikipedia and StumbleUpon. Poor guy.
