My grandparents have a complete collection of world books dating from 1963 and 1996. Of course, the PC revolution took off in the 80s, so I thought it would be captured in the World Books. But was I wrong...
The world book was for 1984 (sent in 1985?) and it featured an Apple ///, but made no mention of the Macintosh like it never even was released. In fact, the world books from the later 1980s and 1990s made no mention of the Macintosh, but made plenty of mention of the IBM PC and IBM-clone markets. No mention of smaller companies like NeXT or Dell, though
