Some images from one of my favourite childhood encyclopedias, What do you Know. I managed to find it again at a boot sale.
Heaven in pages!
Did you have this one?

I did not have those hardback books, but the style looks familiar. Were these re-prints of material from a magazine or part-work ? If so, I might have had a few loose issues.
ReplyDeleteNot sure Paul. What magazines have you got?
DeleteThe space section has been lifted from ‘Rockets and Missiles’ by John WR Taylor, one of my favourite boyhood space books! https://wotanspacebooks.blogspot.com/2022/06/course-correction.html
ReplyDeleteGood to see how important books were to us kids Wote back then. I wonder if they still are. I adored my books and esp. encyclopedias.
DeleteI got a couple of magazines on a regular basis (World of Wonder, and then Look and Learn), but I did have the odd issue of other magazines. Not sure of the exact titles, and those I still have are buried somewhere in a storage locker, so I can not check.
ReplyDeleteSounds great Paul. I loved my regular subscriptions. Look In was my favourite comic that was delivered by the paper boy!
