Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th Edition — Complete 29-Volume Set in Mahogany Case

The Edition Collectors Want.

This is a complete 29-volume set, housed in its original mahogany bookcase. The historical content starts a dinner party conversation.

• the last great pre-World War I encyclopedia
• written by over 1,500 scholars and experts
• containing approximately 40,000 articles

The pages and soft leather covers are generally in great shape. Many of the displayed spines do show some wear — especially the spine of the Index (I have turned it around to show the gold leaf pages). This is a working antique. The mahogany case is sturdy and in good condition.
