Good ol Funk and Wagnalls, we had the same set, bought through the same process...they also had a classical music record collection distributed the same way...volume 1 was Beethoven's 6th, which is one of my favorites to this day...

My parents made it all the way up to 'G' before inheriting a set of Encyclopedia Britannicas.

I had some well-written reports in grade school that were graded pretty harshly until the teacher figured out what year they were published.

I eventually returned to F&W indirectly after we acquired a copy of Encarta on CD-ROM along with our first PC.
