It was HUGE back then, our Wikipedia at that time, I remember taking every piece of info I needed for school from it, and we had the cover laminated so it won’t get dirty, hell I want to go find it.
Don’t tell me you don’t remember it.

Do You Remember This Book?
If you grew in an Arab country in the 1990’s you must remember this book

Oh there were many encyclopedias. Not only in the Arab world, but the prestigious Britannica and Americana. Then there was Encarta which was one of the first (but probably not the first) that was all electronic and could fit on a few floppies
It's amazing how much we depend on the Internet these days. A future generation will come that will not know what a book looks like. This generation would believe everything written in Wikipedia too. They've never seen it any where else.
Anyway, yes, I remember that book.
Of course I remember it, who doesn't?
It is been very long time indeed. I am trying to remember my other books collection when I was a kid. This was very nostalgic.
I don't :(
We had something else at home, an encyclopedia that my father assembled himself, it was a book with blank squares and you had to collect the cards, I don't know how long it took him to collect all of them but he did it! I think we still have it, thanks for reminding me of it (indirectly)
wow! i do remember it !!
i remember whenever my teacher asked for some kind of research i was rush to that encyclopedia , it was very helpful , i remember i had two other interesting books too, one about human body and the other for modern technology!!! and nuh, no mention for internet in it !!
