Famous 1911 Edition https://www.logos.com/product/33266/encyclopedia-britannica
High bids are what matter! Significantly higher would be needed!
Reasons for bidding:
- Highly valued and sought for by antiquarians around the World.
- This is the Edition where they paid attention to English language and article style - how well-written the articles should be.
- Pre-Word War I (just before).
- Much of the content not as conservative as many other Editions. But it's early 20th Century, so contrast to today!
- History-interest material instead of focusing on and thinking that our present age is the best. We've advanced in many things, yet many other things were different in the past, our (free-)time was consumed in a different way in the past, for example: we didn't have access to entertainment in the same way (nor did we as children have toys made from advanced materials) but we didn't expect technological entertainment in the past. True. some things were harder to do, and because of the use of coal in industries and railways some countries didn't pollute that much less in the 19th century than today, but altogether the difference between our time and theirs is so big that it's often hard to fathom.
- A multi-faceted wealth of entries.
- Product will be delivered as advertised.
- Have a look at the number of pages and see that higher bids than the going bid are motivated! They are large volumes - I've seen it in a university library! Don't You want content?
Faithlife should raise the going bid for this resource!
I dream about old encyclopedias every night now.
