I remember when I was a child, by father succumbed to a very persuasive door to door encyclopedia salesman and bought a set on a payment plan. It was bit over twenty volumes with most letters of the alphabet dedicated to one volume, but with some letters doubling or tripling up. I recall X Y and Z being a single volume.
I used to love to randomly select a letter, and just read through the articles. I wonder if that was the beginning of my love for reading.
