That's cool you had such experiences. I don't remember anyone getting excited about a book and sharing it like that in my school, which is a shame.

Although I do remember everyone getting excited about the book buying thing in primary school and I think there were lots of DK books in that? My family couldn't really afford that stuff so guess it just isn't a nostalgic thing for me.

Always got mine from charity shops.

We couldn't afford them either, but we got them from the library. And it was always a context to see who checked out the coolest one that week.
