You know the old thought experiment: "which historical figure would you like to have dinner with?"

I want to be in the room at World Book Headquarters the minute the Board learned about the existence of the internet. I wanna know what exactly was said.

My grandmother collected 33 encyclopedia sets in her time (in addition to very handsome shelves of Nat Geo dating back to the 1920s.). Her intention was for every grandchild to have a set. Have you read A.J. Jacobs The Know-it-All? Maybe that's your pen name? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28116.The_Know_It_All
