Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th Edition — Complete 29-Volume Set in Mahogany Case
Details
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 The historical content starts a dinner party conversation.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.
