My parents kept *three encyclopedia sets* - I think 1911, 1946, 1980? And a one volume attempt from the 1890s.
The lot of them partly to see how What We Know changes, but also they had different good stuff.

I read technical manuals and research papers of all disciplines for fun, since before I learned how to read 🥰
My parents were always bringing home pretty awesome books of physics and all the other sciences and arts. My brain is a happy place

@FlockOfCats Richards Topical Encyclopedia. My favourite part was Volume 14, which introduced me to Greek and Roman mythology, Beowulf, Chaucer, the Nibelungenlied, King Arthur, and much more.
