DD has been wanting a set of encyclopedias for years, but they are all so expensive. She would be looking for World Book or another high end brand, and preferably all of the volumes, but unfortunately, the prices come out to over 1,000 dollars usually. If you have encyclopedias, did you give in and pay this much? I know you can get them on eBay for much cheaper, but they might not be in the best condition, has anyone gone this route?
