My dad also had these ones, which I also loved: https://archive.org/details/worldofcomputers/page/n17/mode/2... (Мир компьютеров в вопросах и ответах / World of Computers in Questions and Answers). It's probably got an original Japanese version, but I can only find the Russian ones. These books are more advanced, and go into computer basics all the way to telephone and packet networks.
