I am constantly amazed by these books – and as an avid reader and collector of the Element Encyclopedias, if you have an interest in the “title” then you will have an interest in the contents of these wonderful books.
I love all the books and have most of them.
I use them for reading about myths and legends. Potions and magic. Full of interesting information and tidbits you never knew you would want to know.
As someone who cant concentrate on long novels, I find these easy to dip in and out of for interesting reading.
