Wow Sam, I thought that I was the only encyclopedia nut. I was the same way as a teenager back in the ‘60s. I even had the grocery store set too.

FWIW, I tried to sell, then give away, an 1887 and a 1966 set of the Britannica. The former was, of course, leather bound, etc..

It was impossible to get rid of them.

Libraries and used bookstores had no interest in them. EBay was glutted with them.

I finally threw them in a dumpster at work. A shame, but there was no more room for them here.
