A trip to the planets. A look at all the places we could go in the solar system. This is a good book to start kids out on a love for all things astronomical. (even if it's a bit dated) ( )

My mother gave me this subscription one year for a Christmas present. This set, togther with the cyclopedia, laid the foundation of my love of science. A huge collection of science, archaeology, history, biography, and anthropology books followed. Unfortunately, most of those were lost as a result of a divorce.

My Childhood collection represents books I remember reading and loving as a young boy. Some are orginal ones I owned, but, unfortunately, most are replacement copies from yard sales, flea markets, and used book stores. I am always on the lookout for a dozen or so, and I am always trying to remember and add new titles. --JJM, 10/15/05
