From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An encyclopedia (also spelled encyclopaedia or encyclopædia) is a comprehensive written compendium that holds information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided into articles with one article on each subject covered. The articles on subjects in an encyclopedia are usually accessed alphabetically by article name and can be contained in one volume or many volumes, depending on the amount of material included. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect knowledge disseminated around the globe; to set forth its general system to the men with whom we live, and transmit it to those who will come after us, so that the work of preceding centuries will not become useless to the centuries to come; and so that our offspring, becoming better instructed, will at the same time become more virtuous and happy, and that we should not die without having rendered a service to the human race in the future years to come. — Diderot OverviewFrom Wikipedia under the

Q. I almost threw out a whole set of encyclopedias today and I decided to see how much it was worth. The World book site says 1000 dollars. But I'm not sure if mine is the exact.

With the incredible access to information afforded by the Internet, encyclopedia are not popular today. Given the speed with which information changes, expandes and updates, encyclopedia become quickly outdated as well, even with the annual updates. The World Book site would not be well served were it to report that sets of its encyclopedia are worthless. You might check out Ebay and for price comparisons. There are enough people around who find World Book (or others) nice to have in the house or a nice edition to their home libraries, or for sentimental reasons.
