These two items have been much on my mind of late.
When I was in elementary school, we had a huge World Book Encyclopedia, in
153 volumes or some huge number. There's a funny story about that
dictionary. I didn't realize it was out-of-date, and so I wrote a report
one day about presidents, and said that Kennedy was still alive. (I was
born in 1967, folks.) <Smile>
This was because the encyclopedia was copyright 1959 and, of course, he was
alive back then. I was young, what can I say?
In any case, does someone still publish these huge encyclopedias? Any
chance of getting them on Bookshare?
Similarly, what about a good Oxford dictionary?
Failing that, is there someplace I can get both of these in a convenient
electronic format?
Finally, I'd love to see a scrabble dictionary for Bookshare.
Thanks.
