I recently bought an old encyclopedia. it is nearly 80 years old and has illustrations. 
That is quite  a find!   Is it Britannica?
Yes it is. They are definitely the name brand of encyclopedias!
Number one for sure.  That is great.  I know there must be plenty of good reading there.  When did you luck up and find it?
I went out for lunch with a friend last weekend. It was a part of the city I don't normally go to and we there was this old bookstore next to the cafe. I just had to check it out and I'm glad I did. 
What have you found most interesting in the encyclopedia so far?  Yes, I imagine you are glad to have gone there.  I would love to check something like that out myself.  
Yes it was a great find. It is a nature edition with information on different types of animals. The illustrations are lovely and all hand painted. 
You had to take that one home with you.  Are there a ton of pages?
Yes it is about 800 pages. I think that is standard for an encyclopedia but I'm not sure. It's the first one I have ever bought.
I take it that you would like to go to that location again one day perhaps.  Was the cafe worth another visit as well?
The cafe wasn't that great to be honest but I will be visiting the book store again!
