Good morning, Tara! 🥐☕ Those books can't be censored or edited. Always a good choice.
Great purchase! Analog still has its place!!

Paper worth stacking.
I think I've stacked a couple hundred books in the last couple years establishing a personal research library. I started running out of shelf space recently and had to archive some books that weren't really ever getting referenced for research. Perhaps ironically most of the books I archived were old school textbooks.
Not sure what you research but I have the complete set of foxfire books plus about every foraging book I can find for various regions throughout the Rockies.
Also:
Where there is no doctor
Where there is no dentist

Rocky Mountain foraging books are some of the ones I archived mostly because I don't live in the Rockies...yet.
I also have some emergency medicine books. Herbal medicine too. Actually, some of my research led me to a set of medical textbooks I wound up buying so I have some modern western medicine represented. I have some chiropractic books, some reiki, some qigong, biogeometry...lots of healing modalities.
I'm on month 31 of a research bender into basically all religious, occult, and esoteric wisdom traditions seeking to understand, in general. If you check out the YouTube short linked in my NOSTR bio (it's just 1 minute long or so), you will get an elevator pitch that is a small part of a much larger product of this research bender. In that short, I unveil my theory on how sarcophagi were really used in ancient Egypt.

“But they can’t be updated”
That’s the point 🤣
NOOIIIIICE!

Wow you bought the library
Cool.
I grew up with the Funk & Wagnalls collection on the opposite side of my bookcase lol
I do believe that's what we had as well, growing up.
Did Google stop working??
I inherited my parents 1992 World Book set a few years ago… my mom made sure to tell me that I couldn’t sell them, why would sell them… I wish the kids would use them more for homeschool
