Does anyone know please the approximate value of 1948 era The World Book Encyclopedia set in decent condition? I believe one volume is missing.
Only a few years/sets of any brand of encyclopedias are valuable and most of those are newer sets. Older sets are many times even difficult to give away because they are difficult for even thrift stores to sell.
Hi! I have some books from the 1985 World Book set which I do not have Volume 1 as of yet, nor 20, or even 21, and I am wondering what is the value of these books and how much they go for? Because I have Volumes 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, and 14.
Encyclopedias, single books or sets are usually very, very slow selling items.
There are numerous single books listed for sale on eBay and other sites.
Sold listings show single sales are usually under $10.

Does anyone have a set of 1958 Encyclopedia Britannica World Book Encyclopedias they would like to find a good home for? I am willing to pay the shipping costs however that would likely be the extent of my funds to acquire this set.
In Lak'ech Ala K'in my FriendsI believe you may be wanting the 1958 Britannica Encyclopedia set (1958 set is the Fourteenth Edition) but Britannica has no relation to "World Book" so be sure to make your request clear or there could be a misunderstanding about the set you're asking about.
If you do any research you'll probably find the 1958 set is selling quite well and sold prices are ranging between $250-350 with free shipping. Now it's possible that you may find someone who just wants to get rid of their set and will ship it if the cost of shipping is paid.
However, some sellers are charging high prices for shipping because they are not taking advantage of USPS Media Mail which is usually about 1/3 or less, than the cost of other services.

I would suggest you place ads on your local sites such as Craigslist, USA4Sale, NextDoor.com, FreeCycle, Facebook Marketplace, and also make calls to all of your local Thrift Stores as occasionally they do accept a set to sell.
Good luck and please post back with info on your search.

How can I get rid of or donate a like brand new set of encyclopedias I brought I believe in 1987. I also have the year in review beginning in 1988 to I believe 1995. It has some other sets that go with it.
They are basically new. My children never used it for school work only to look up information. Most volumes haven't even been opened.
