A couple of years ago I was given a complete 1909 Britannica to add to my collection of antique encyclopedias. 32 quarto size volumes that occupy over eight feet of shelf space. The spines are faded and cracked with age, but otherwise in pretty good shape.
It’s an 11th edition. Since it was put out before WWI, my 1936 World Book has much more to say about the conflict that was then known as the Great War.

What do they say about WWI?
Seriously, is it a 10th edition? Have you noticed any articles from famous names?
I wonder if the library will keep getting yearbooks.
