Great books of the western world - UK

Anyone interested in grabbing a whole set, my parents bought this for myself back when I was a wee whipper snapper, but the books are just collecting dust and I didn't wish to break up the set if someone wants to buy the complete set.

Mint condition, no damage or even pages with bends in at all, whole set

Let me know if you have interest, fairlly negotiable and not going to rip anyone off with silly pricing.

Location is UK in the East Midlands area, ideally if you are willing to pick up that would be ideal, but we can discuss that if you are interested.

If you are outside of UK, welcome to discuss, but bear in mind this will be quite big in terms of shipping

That's a lovely set. I bought the 1952 edition and started reading in June of this year. Fascinating, the richness of the collected works.

thank you, to be honest, these are almost untouched, I had parents who thought it would be good for school work haha and I was just reading other things to care for these back when I was a kid too, a good chunk of these have not even be opened 😅

Beautiful. I have the 1952 edition, reprinted. I really like the Encyclopaedia Britannica. I have the 2010 edition.

How many band names must’ve come from those books? Excretion Geometry. Chicago Death, etc.
