I'd love to see what my mother paid for the set in 1970. The visual nature of the cover is what strikes me the most. Almost as if to get a young person to look at it, it has to be visually appealing and cinematic regardless of the content. Oh well, as long as it makes them read.

This is what my set looked like.



This is how dull I am. I always wondered why it was necessary to make it "C to Ch" and "Ci to Cz." Were there that many words that began with the letter C?
