World Wisdom


This awesome and somehow mystical vintage book was recently scored at a yard sale for $2.00! It was published in 1886 by "F.B. Dickerson & CO." The Inside page reads "World of Wisdom; Encyclopedia of Valuable and Indispensable Information for Everybody, containing Tables and Rules for Daily Reference, Historical Tables, Biography, Business Forms, Recipes for the Household, Etc., Etc. Embellished with Numerous Illustrations and Colored Diagrams. "
In small quotes is also reads "Look within, you will find it." which is such a profound analogy for a book published in 1886. Maybe those people back then weren't as dumb as we like to think they were.
