What is the value of 1953 set of Comptons encyclopedias?
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.

What is value of 1959 encyclopedia britannica?
Hard to say. Ordinarily, an old set of encyclopedias...unless it's REALLY old...is not especially valuable.The 1959 Encyclopedia Britannica has one special thing going for it that other old encyclopedias don't. As soon as the Russians sent Sputnik into orbit in 1957, both the U.S. and England started expanding their science and math programs...and the Encyclopedia Brittanica also decided to expand its coverage of math and science (and space exploration), while condensing sections for other topics...including the liberal arts and literature. Because changes take approximately a year and a half to complete, the 1959 edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica was the last version before the science/math revision. (For example...the section on "Shakespeare" in the 1960 Encylopedia Brittanica was only about a third as large.) So for many English professors, the 1959 Encyclopedia Brittanica is a treasured resource...and some will pay a premium for a nice set in good condition. Contact your closest university's English department and see if they'll let you post an ad on their bulletin board.Good luck!
