Knowledge Encyclopedia: The World as You've Never Seen It Before (Knowledge Encyclopedias)

Product Information

A fully updated edition, including all the latest developments in science, technology, space and geography. That oversimplified explanation, however, doesn’t help the average person put a value on their encyclopedias. And the fact is, most encyclopedia sets aren’t worth much at all. The number of volumes fluctuated. It was originally a 24 volume set, but other print runs had 10, 12 or 20.; [2] 1919 was a 20 volume set as shown in the image above, as was 1951. [3] From 1949 Grolier also issued a Book of Knowledge Annual. [4]

If you don’t have an exceptionally valuable set, you might want to simply get rid of your old encyclopedias. Rather than toss them in the trash, you can seek opportunities to make money (or at least get rid of them for free) by donating your old encyclopedias.

[5] There was a separate index for poetry. Children can explore the world as they've never seen it before, looking at what makes the human brain so special and finding out how the body's cells make energy. Journey through history in this visual encyclopedia, from the earliest life forms right up to our world today. A whole collection of facts, charts, timelines, and illustrations that cover a vast range of topics.

Grolier also published an annual supplement, The New Book of Knowledge Annual which updated the encyclopedia with summaries of the events of the year. Other than the title and publisher there was no "real editorial connection to the encyclopedia". [16] These were published from at least 1957 to 2012. [17] [18] Originally largely a reprint of the British Children's Encyclopaedia with revisions related to the United States by Holland Thompson, over time the encyclopedia evolved into a new entity entirely. It was published under a policy of continuous revision, meaning that there were no separate editions, but annual printings that were edited and updated by the publisher. Thompson remained editor until his death in 1940. From 1941 to 1960 it was edited by Ellen V. McLaughlin and from 1960 to 1966 by John D. Tedford.Book values continually change depending on a number of market-driven factors. While it is impossible to list every possible encyclopedia value in a single article, knowing that most encyclopedias carry little value, how to spot those that do, and how to research current market prices can help you determine how much your encyclopedias are worth today. Armed with that information, you can decide what to do with your old encyclopedias. An incredible, educational journey through space and time on planet Earth and beyond. This is the perfect educational book for a young explorer. The problem, explains Lynn Roundtree, is that encyclopedias have no inherent value. Roundtree, who has more than 25 years of book appraisal experience, is the owner of Armadillo Books & Appraisals, based in Chapel Hill, NC. The Book of Knowledge was an encyclopedia aimed at juveniles first published in 1912, by the Grolier Society.
