1954 Encyclopedia Britannica Value
Can anyone give me some information about the worth of my 1954
Encyclopedia Britannica 23 volume set? It's almost never been used, and is in good shape. If you can give me any leads on how much it's worth (or where I can get this information) it would be greatly appreciated. |

Goto Ebay http://books.ebay.com and search for encyclopedia britannica When you get the results there will be a small box "Completed listings" which you check and search again. You will see that sets like yours sell for practically nothing or don't sell at all. Donate it. -- Jonathan Grobe Books Browse our inventory of thousands of used books at: http://www.grobebooks.com |

om... Can anyone give me some information about the worth of my 1954 Encyclopedia Britannica 23 volume set? It's almost never been used, and is in good shape. If you can give me any leads on how much it's worth (or where I can get this information) it would be greatly appreciated. While I'm sure that somewhere there is a collector who would covet this item, your best bet would be to find out what day your town picks up paper for recycling and leave them out by the curb then. -- Bob Finnan The Hardy Boys Unofficial Home Page http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon New & Out Of Print Books, Books-On-Tape, Videos, DVDs, CD-ROMs For Sale http://users.arczip.com/fwdixon/hbsale.htm .................................................. .................... |

If you have a local charity thrift store, they may accept it as a donation, if you throw some money in with the deal. Kris |

Donate it to the library, so they can use it to raise money at their next library sale. They might sell it for $30-$50. I don't know why anyone buys it, but I have to say, I fished a 1947 edition of Grolier's Encyclopedia out of a dumpster about 15 years ago and have found it quite useful, even though it is obviously obsolete. It has saved me from having to buy an encyclopedia and the things it isn't useful for in a pinch I can either usually find on the net or at the library, where they have contemporary encyclopedias. Why do you want to get rid of it? -- Ignorantly, Allan Adler You found someone to take an old encyclopedia set off your hands? Wow! Around here, you have to outsmart the thrift stores. First you put on a disguise, pack the books up in a plain cardboard box, then leave the box at the back door of a thrift store.....at midnight (and hope they don't have a security camera, or they can charge you with "littering"). They're basically in the category of "everyone has (or had) one and doesn't need another" (like National Geographics and Readers Digest compilations). Kris |
