Just thought I would break away from all the uprisings & revolutions to get back to a book problem/ question.
My Brother and I are the proud if slightly perplexed owners of the following item & would like to know what to do with it & what (if anything) it is worth.
It is a full set of leather bound Encyclopedia Britannica from 1911 - with a 1920 supplement (not leather bound) - I think there are 22 volumes. The bindings and the leather on some volumes is in very poor condition and is flaking and crumbling - and to be honest if you took it on right now you would need a hoover to go with it!
I am rather attached to it in a way, but neither of us has the space for it and we have made the joint decision that it has to go.
Please don't suggest the aga as I will be heartbroken! Has it any value?
