An observation ...

Google has replaced the Encyclopoedia Britannica D'oh!

Yes, it's taken me 3 years on the forum to realise this & use Google with confidence ... until recently I was concerned about the sourc(es) of some posts

As a kid I used the EB for help with homework & used the town reference library extensively ... in the days when big notices of Silence & Quiet Please were there

It can be a handy spell checker too if the program you're using doesn't have the best native one wink

it's been on my mind for a while to correct a mistake = an important one I made in op

for Encyclopedia Britannica ... read ... Book of Knowledge ... about 8 books including index which suddenly appeared on the shelves (which my dear dad bless him made) ... I used them a lot for homework & I didn't question what was inside the books same as you would if you had an Encyclopedia Britannica

 

that was the point I was trying to make ... = ... unquestionable knowledge / information 

 

the book(s) of Knowledge disappeard just as quickly as they had appeared ... learned that the son of dad's elder brother swapped them for my dad's books on mechanical engineering he had gained whilst at the local Technical college

 

hope I've cleared that up & made sense
