As a child I loved to read the topics on the spines of the Encyclopaedia
Brtiannica set that my parents bought in the 1960s.  Many of the word pairs gave
rise to interesting pictures in the mind of a perhaps over-imaginative child.
My favorite was:

SARSAPARILLA
SORCERY

Ah yes, the 'Thistle Bee' song.......

On the topic of O-Z, this sort of thing can be very misleading.

Wishing to become more tactile, I was pleased to find a book in my local
second-hand bookstore that looked promising. It was called 'How to Hug'.

However, on closer examination, it proved to be volume 9 of the 1948
Encyclopaedia Britannica :-(
