Encyclopedias have been around for more than 100 years, but these beautifully created books are becoming collectible now.

Encyclopedias were originally sold door-to-door to families who not only wanted their children to have educational advantages, but also a status symbol.

Also, encyclopedias have long been used to help prepare immigrants learning American culture and history for their citizenship tests.

From researchers and students to people who simply love having these colorful encyclopedias in prominent places in their home to establish their studious side -- encyclopedias are still part of our homes, offices, libraries and our lives.

Look for these Vintage encyclopedias to be given as creative gifts, especially to graduates. Also, even more creative are people who find out the exact year someone is born -- then present them with a full set of Vintage encyclopedias that were published in that same year.

Another great thing about encyclopedias hotsell is they offer so much style. Select an encyclopedia based on the publisher, year, number of volumes AND the color of the covers. Farmhouse style homes, home offices and classic entranceway areas are great for showcasing encyclopedias.

SWAGcollectibles only offers Vintage encyclopedias, year books and other educational books that WE would want to place on our shelves. As the attention begins to focus on Vintage encyclopedias, especially as they are selected to decorate homes and offices, eventually you won't be able to find complete sets in good condition at reasonable prices. So select your Vintage encyclopedia now before they are all gone. Indeed, encyclopedias are a fine example of History.

* HISTORY * Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedias were first published in 1875 and ended in 1997, while the YEAR BOOKS continued to be published after 1997.

* DESCRIPTION: This is a 1973 Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia set, A-Z, with 27 books in all. Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedias are much harder to locate because these books were not published during as many years as other encyclopedia makers, so they are much harder to locate. However, people who enjoy encyclopedias appreciate Funk & Wagnalls for its Classic, and some say, more upscale appearance. You be the judge, when deciding which set of encyclopedias to purchase, but this 1973 Funk & Wagnalls set is in MINT CONDITION, as if the books were hardly used.

* SPECIFICS: There are 29 books in all. This Funk & Wagnalls set is decorated in the captivating colors of red, blue and beige. We inspected each book and this set is in MINT condition, practically NEW. The set looks like it was barely taken out of the box. Oddly, on the back cover of each book is a bar code, which makes the set look very new, thought we know that based on the Card Number 72-170933, the set was copyrighted in 1973. This set looks like it is in such good condition, the books could be new (but we know they are Vintage.)

* COLOR: The elegant color includes red, blue, beige and real gold leaf paint.

* GOLD ACCENTS: The words on the cover of the books are printed using 24 carrot gold leaf paint. And each page is painted on the top of the books using 24 carrot gold leaf paint. The gold gives the Classic books a very expensive look.

* MAKER: Funk & Wagnalls, Inc.

* COPYRIGHT: (c) 1973.

* MEASUREMENTS: The books measure about 9.5 inches tall and 6.75 inches wide.

* NOTES: Most of the encyclopedias sets from other makers are usually no more than 22 volumes. But Funk & Wagnalls' sets are much larger, and this set includes a total of 29 books (volumes.) There are 29 books in this collection, with the 29th being the "Index."

* CONDITION: MINT CONDITION.

* SHIPMENT: This large collection will be carefully shipped in 2 heavy boxes, as it includes 27 books. #RED#FUNK&WAGNALLS#18
