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.
I have the 1964 set of World Book encyclopedias with study guide. It is time to let them go are they worth anything?
I have the entire set of 1973 World Book encyclopedias. What might they be worth if I were to sell them?

I have a set of World Book encyclopedias from around 1959 and a set from around 1980. What would be their value to sell?
Thank you.
I have two questions about two encyclopedias that I have. I have one that has the World Book B 2, copyright 1979 and the other one that I have is the Encyclopedia Americana volume 14, Hawaii to Index of Refraction.
It has a map when you open it and then copyright is 1952, but it also has other copyrights 1957, 1927, 1929, 1931, 1932 and it goes on and goes on. I need to know the value.
I have a complete set of 1968 World Book encyclopedias. How much are they worth today? They are in good condition.

I have a nice set of 1958 World Book encyclopedias with the updates for years to follow. Are they valuable or should I try to take them to Goodwill?
What is the value of a set of 1972 "The World Book" Encyclopedias? I have the entire 21 volume set, including 20 book volumes plus (1) 1972 Year Book.
I have a complete set of the 1992 World Book Encyclopedia. What is its value?
All the information contained in these books is old and outdated. The books are now online and updated all the time. If the books were published in 1902 instead of 1992 they would be worth something today.
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.
I am curious. I have 1972 World Book encyclopedia collection of 228. I am wondering if there is any value. They are in great condition.
I have an old set of World Book Encyclopedias copyright 1933. Can anyone tell me what it might be worth?
I also have an old set of McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology 7th edition 1992. Can anyone tell me what this might be worth also?
How much would a 1929 World Book Encyclopedia set be worth? It is a 10 book set in excellent condition.
What is the value of complete set of 1977 World Book Encyclopedias?

I have a full set of World Book Encyclopedias, copyright 1979. They are in excellent condition. How much would they sell for and where can I sell them?
I also have a full set of Young Students Encyclopedias, copyright 1977. These are showing a bit of yellowing from age, but otherwise are in good condition. How much would they sell for and where can I sell them?

Your best bet is to recycle them. No one can sell, give away, donate or dump-and-run a set of encyclopedias these days.
