My Parents keep on insisting that I take the set of Encyclopedias that they purchased for us (my brothers Allen & Isa) as kids. I tell them that we should give them to the child that used them the least so..haha. 

I tend to use Wiki.org and Google as my Encyclopedia. 

• Thesauruses 
• Finding Facts Fast 
• Statistical Abstract of the United States
• The Book Of List
• The Help Book
• The King's English

• Words into Type - I have the Chicago Style Manual
