The Encyclopedia Britannica will still be published online, just not in print. The internet has changed the way people, especially younger people, search for and take in news and information. Printed encyclopedias are becoming a thing of the past and the company that owns the Encyclopedia Britannica wants to keep up with the times.

What is the value of encyclopedia brittannica 2010 final print?
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 Encyclopedias are updated yearly so that the information in them doesn't get out of date; a ten year old set of encyclopedias is essentially worthless.Don't believe me?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because they hate to just throw them away, but the library (which probably has several current sets) has no use for an out of date set and will sell them for whatever they can get.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.
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!

What is the value of a set of 1930 encyclopedia?
In 1977 I purchased a complete set of World Book Encyclopedia 1951 Edition at a farm auction for $0.50. For all practical purpose, the auction was all but over and the auctioneer discovered that they had not been sold. I was not going to let these books be destroyed and bid $0.50 and won the bid. Surprisingly, the set was in very, very good condition.
Are britannica sets worth anything?
Call your local paper recycler and ask what the going rate for scrap paper is. It will be slightly higher than that, maybe, but not much. There are two factors that keep them from being valuable: A) the information in it is no longer current, so it's not very valuable as a research reference B) people don't usually throw them away, so there are lots and lots of sets out there. With respect to B, a lot of people will give them to libraries when they don't want them any more. The library, who has their own current sets of encyclopedias, doesn't want them either, so they sell them at a library sale for almost nothing (I've seen full sets sold for as little as $2).
Why did Jabez Wilson get a job with the red headed league?
Wilson gets paid to copy the encyclopedia. What the real truth is that the red headed league is fake and that they got him out of the pawn shop so that they could dig into the bank and steal the money. As soon as the tunnel is done Wilson gets a notice that the red headed league has disbanded and that sends Wilson to Sherlock Holmes with the question of what is going on.
