And, of course, Funk & Wagnalls (best known as part of a "Laugh-In"
quip..."Look it up in your Funk & Wagnall's"...?!) also sold a few
gazillion sets (or, more often, PARTIAL sets...Vol. I always turns
up, unlike the remaining ones...?!) of encyclopediae via supermarkets!
IIRC, similar "complete sets of serious music" are STILL being sold/
offered as premiums in various chain stores, dollar stores, usw...)
