I often leave op shops armed with stacks of children's books, all at about $1 or so each, to add to my classroom library at school. Sometimes, though, I'll find a retro or vintage book I have to keep for myself...the type full of nostalgic illustrations, shades of colour you forgot even existed and quaint writing. Here are two such treasures - The Great Big Book of Knowledge from Vinnies Wembley for $2 and Disney Presents The Wonderful World of Knowledge: Space for $2.25 from Salvos Midland. The Disney book has that incredibly joyful, optimistic and over the top vintage cartoon vibe throughout, and The Great Big Book of Knowledge gives you that forgotten world kind of feeling.
