Golden Book Encyclopedia
The ''Golden Book Encyclopedia'' is a set of children's encyclopedias published by Western Printing and Lithographing Company under the name Golden Press.〔(Western Publishing: Information and Much More from Answers.com )〕 Advertised as circulars in newspapers, the encyclopedias were sent out in weekly or bi-weekly installments. Supermarket chains, such as Acme Markets, used these encyclopedias as a promotional hook to lure shoppers.
The front page of every volume describes the books as, "Fact-filled Volumes Dramatically Illustrated with More Than 6,000 Pictures. The Only Encyclopedia for Young Grade-school children. Accurate and Authoritative. Entertainingly written and illustrated to make learning an adventure."〔Parker, Bertha M. ''The Golden Book Encyclopedia.'' 1st ed. 16 vols. New York: Western, 1959.〕 Subjects included in the ''Golden Book Encyclopedia'' series were related to nature and science, history, geography, literature, and the arts.
