I've been trolling CL to find an encyclopedia set for my kids.
Tread carefully. The one HUGE downside to printed encyclopedias is how quickly much of the information they include becomes dated or obsolete.
true of any printed media, which is why much of it is dying. however, for a quick synopsis of geography, zoology, ancient cultures, anatomy, physics, etc. it's all still quite relevant and easier to digest in a form such as a book.
