Depending on what the publication information is for your set of 1917 encyclopedias, and what condition each book is in, your set could be worthless or worth thousands. To find out what your encyclopedia set is exactly worth, you will need to have an antique appraiser examine the set so that you have a definite price value.
A set of 1921 Collier's New Encyclopedia can be purchased for as little as $9.99 at places such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army. Sets can be found online for $39 to $99 per set, depending on the condition.

The value of a complete set of 1965 Collier's Encyclopedias plus yearbooks from 1965-1986, a bibliography book, and 2 standard dictionaries would vary depending on factors like condition, rarity, and demand. Generally, such sets could be valued anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars if they are in good condition and there is interest from collectors or libraries. It would be best to consult with a rare book dealer or appraiser for a more accurate valuation.

Nothing. The information is too dated to be of any use, but not near old enough to be of any antiquarian value. I appraise books for a living. Old encyclopedias are a dime a dozen --everyone wants rid of them, no one is looking for them.
It's very difficult for people to understand and accept this, but the approximate value of any set of encyclopedias more than a year old is effectively zero. Public libraries often have encyclopedias donated to them, and usually wind up selling them at library sales for a few bucks for a complete set... if they don't just recycle them.
The value of a 10-volume set of Collier's Encyclopedia Junior Classics can vary depending on factors such as the condition of the books, the edition, and whether they are complete. Generally, sets in good condition can range from $50 to $200. It's recommended to research recent sales of similar sets to get a more accurate estimate of their worth.
