Why is the Encyclopedia Britannica going to stop publishing encyclopedias?
Luvhistory
The Encyclopedia Britannica will still be published online, just not in print. The internet has changed the way people, especially younger people, search for and take in news and information. Printed encyclopedias are becoming a thing of the past and the company that owns the Encyclopedia Britannica wants to keep up with the times.

The Encyclopedia Britannica stopped publishing print encyclopedias mainly due to the rise of digital technologies and online resources. They shifted their focus to digital formats that are more accessible and adaptable to the changing information landscape. Maintaining print editions was no longer as economically viable as digital alternatives.

What is value of 1959 encyclopedia britannica?
Hard to say. Ordinarily, an old set of encyclopedias...unless it's REALLY old...is not especially valuable.The 1959 Encyclopedia Britannica has one special thing going for it that other old encyclopedias don't. As soon as the Russians sent Sputnik into orbit in 1957, both the U.S. and England started expanding their science and math programs...and the Encyclopedia Brittanica also decided to expand its coverage of math and science (and space exploration), while condensing sections for other topics...including the liberal arts and literature. Because changes take approximately a year and a half to complete, the 1959 edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica was the last version before the science/math revision. (For example...the section on "Shakespeare" in the 1960 Encylopedia Brittanica was only about a third as large.) So for many English professors, the 1959 Encyclopedia Brittanica is a treasured resource...and some will pay a premium for a nice set in good condition. Contact your closest university's English department and see if they'll let you post an ad on their bulletin board.Good luck!

What is the value of a set of 1930 encyclopedia?
In 1977 I purchased a complete set of World Book Encyclopedia 1951 Edition at a farm auction for $0.50.

Why did Jabez Wilson get a job with the red headed league?
Wilson gets paid to copy the encyclopedia. What the real truth is that the red headed league is fake and that they got him out of the pawn shop so that they could dig into the bank and steal the money. As soon as the tunnel is done Wilson gets a notice that the red headed league has disbanded and that sends Wilson to Sherlock Holmes with the question of what is going on.
