Set Includes:

- Bonus Volume: The 1969 Britannica Book of the Year (covering the landmark events of 1968).
Condition: Acceptable vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with its 50+ year history. Spines remain impressive for display.
Karin’s Choice: What makes this particular set a ‘Treasure’ is that it is truly complete. Most sets found today are missing the Index, but this one includes the essential Volume 24 plus the 1969 Book of the Year. It’s a perfect historical time capsule of the late 60s—magnificent on a shelf and a fully functional reference library.
