I’ve always wanted to own my own copy of a full Encyclopedia Britannica, but I’ve always been too poor to do so. When I was a kid my mother would never agree to pay the $20 per volume for the 20+ volume set.
Well the other day in Half Price Books I saw something sitting on the shelves above the clearance stuff. It was a full 29 volume, plus two indexes, and an appendix or some shit! All 32 books for $40.
But then I saw that it was a 1986 edition. The ability to own a full Britannica volume from the year I was born?
You know what happened next.
So, needless to say, I bought the Britannica.

I needed three boxes for all of them.

1986 edition, Yay!
Unfortunately now I have to figure out a place to put them. All my bookcases are full. I needed to buy a new one anyway, but I was waiting on it. I’ve got no place to put my purtty books. 😦
