If you actually can't afford one, I wholeheartedly endorse this. But if you can afford a new set, please buy a new set. They only still print them because a minimum number of people buy them new. I can't imagine this will last forever, so, support World Book. https://www.worldbook.com/encyclopedias.aspx https://www.worldbook.com/encyclopedias.aspx The previous years set is often discounted, if the full price is a little too much for you.
