In Harvey Einbinder’s excellent “The Myth of
the Britannica” he includes some of the advertisements used to sell

INEXPRESSIBLE LOVE YOU FEEL FOR YOUR CHILD?” The actual copy,
contributed to Dr. D. Alan Walter is not by an eminent child
psychologist or educator, but one of the Britannica’s salespersons.
