  1. It’s the Children’s Guide to Knowledge.

    “The subtitle of the book is Wonders of Nature, Marvels of Science and Man, and it was published by Parents? Magazine Press. An aunt gave it to me when I finished third grade. Her inscription notes that the book would help me complete fourth-grade reports. Thirty-two years after its publication, Children?s Guide to Knowledge continues to deliver a compelling world of animals, plants, history, geography, and scientific achievement (through early space exploration, anyway). The spine is crumbling, and the book has a damp, forgotten smell, but it still seduces.”

    Thanks for the nod, as always.
