Golden  Book Encyclopedias were my entry drug as well. Dallas, TX,
1950s-1960s,  Safeway.



I guess we was all pretty poor.  Safeway books, gas station cutlery  and 
glassware; I got a set of encyclopedias from Safeway, one a week.  We  saved 
up blue and green stamps for furniture.  Ever wonder why the library  was so 
popular among our kind in our time?  It was the only free thing out  there.  
We were what I used to call the "respectable poor."  
 
What drug was better for delivery from bad circumstances than a book?
