Beautiful set of famous "scholar's edition" of Enccyclopedia Britannica
Just as the announcement was made that the Encyclopedia Britannica is going exclusively on-line we have received a complete set -- twenty nine volumes -- of the eleventh edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, published in 1910-1911. Beautifully bound, on india paper as white as the day the books were printed, our "handy volume" set of the encyclopedia is in remarkably pristine condition. The thin india paper means that each volume has about a thousand pages! We are told that it was apparently kept in one family for a hundred years! But it was not much used. The maps that pull out , for example, appear free of the tears that pull-outs normally are subject to All you need to learn about the Britannica's eleventh edition is readily available on the internet. Only $225. to be found in the sets section.
