in 1987 how much did a complete set of the 1987 encyclopedia britanica cost?
In 1955, the World Book Encyclopedia cost around $125 for a complete set. Adjusted for inflation, that would be roughly equivalent to around $1,200 in today's currency.
If you would like to buy the new ones that are up-to-date, and current to this year off of the official website, expect to pay a little over $1000. However, if you are willing to pay for older versions, each year that it is older decreases its value by $150. On Amazon.com or other websites such as eBay, used encyclopedias can come even cheaper. A 2005 complete 22-volume used set costs around $250.00.

How much is scrap paper going for a pound these days?Encyclopedias cost a lot, so people often mistakenly assume that they're worth a lot. This is not true. Encyclopedias are updated yearly so that the information in them doesn't get out of date; a ten year old set of encyclopedias is essentially worthless.Don't believe me? Go to a library sale sometime. People often donate old encyclopedias to the library because they hate to just throw them away, but the library (which probably has several current sets) has no use for an out of date set and will sell them for whatever they can get. This may be as low as a few dollars for a complete set.
