RIP: Encyclopedia Britannica

Encyclopedia Britannica,  published since 1768, announced yesterday that it's  going all digital and will cease publication of its 32-volume printed encyclopedia. Inevitable, I know. But fond memories for me and all other childhood bookies: lying on the floor of my childhood home and paging through the volumes just to be surprised by all the facts. A kingdom of wonder right there.

Spokesman-Review features writer Rebecca Nappi, along with writer Catherine Johnston of Olympia, Wash., discuss here issues facing aging boomers, seniors and those experiencing serious illness, dying, death and other forms of loss.
