I imagine that business is worse than ever for the encyclopedia salesmen, what with the Internet and stuff. This set is from 1986, by the way, so it's not exactly cutting edge. No idea.

They may get as much as $50 for it. I do find some spectacular deals at yard sales, but I find them labor intensive compared to thrift stores. My best bargains come out of the dumpsters in office and industrial parks.

I used to work at the public library back home, and periodically they would throw out books that nobody was reading. I snagged a bunch of hard-bound sci-fi and G. Gordon Liddy's <i>Will</i>. Whee!
