She is 22 and loves learning about the history she was not taught in school. She blows me away all the time with the things she knows and is intrested in (She's huge into the Titanic for some reason) Anyways, she came to me and asked what books she could read. I told her OLD ONES. Then she asked some things about the Holocaust. I asked what she learned in school, she said they never covered it in history class. Should I be scouring ebay or other second hand sites? Or is there a place i can buy old, retired textbooks? Of course all book recommendations are welcome. Maybe a textbook is not the most thrilling read. Thanks for any suggestions.

Old encyclopedias. I have two sets from the early 1900s. They are amazing. I found them at a used books store.
1949 Encyclopedia Americana set may be the last with bits of old knowledge. WW2 is much different than generally reported (modern day) in this text. Pre 1909 are better. After creation of FedRes in 1913 there were “unlimited dollars” to buy up all the encyclopedia companies and payoff all the writers to omit certain info. It took them about 40 years to modify ALL the history and knowledge to their “globalist agenda”.
interesting - glad I have pre-1916 ones
