I found a whole set of these at Goodwill once for a few bucks. I didn't buy them though because they were very out of date. |

Not really. I just checked, it's the 15th Edition, year 1968. I'd get zilch for it. |

Good riddance. We are better off without a printed book that's basically a lower-quality Wikipedia with less depth and more cultural bias. |

>less depth and more cultural bias
We ARE talking about Wikipedia right? |

Doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as it's written somewhere, right?? |

@LoneLampman It's not like they're going out of business or anything. They're just going digital. |

Was kinda joking along with the wikipedia thing, but that's good to hear too. |

It's not going away, it's just switching to an all-digital format.
The online Britannica actually has about two million subscribers already. The physical volumes sold only about 8,000 copies this year. It's a logical move. |
