    I grew up with those Life nature Books! I bet my mom still has them! Seeing them really brings back memories.

    I have those Time Life books!! Well, of the Nature library, we have maybe... six. The Science library collection is much more complete; I adore the Planets one.

    those books began my lifelong obsession with science. as i have read from other people, they seemed to inspire alot of little american kiddos in the 70's-80's. too bad things like that dont come out anymore. you cant pull out a wiki archive in the same way as an old musty timelife book!

    Seeing those books bring back great memories of climbing on our rust colored couch to pull them off of our bookshelves.

    FYI- the title reads inexpenisve. My dirty mind caught it right away.

    We have a different edition of those same science books. They belonged to my husband as a kid; he's a science professor now. I guess they did their job. :)

    I grew up with those books, too, but I was happier to see the travel plate - I've got some that were my grandma's and I love them. They're in storage until we find a bigger house, but I can't wait to display them with the coffee mugs I collect.
