Re: Encyclopedias to sell?

[Deborah Chaney <chaney@TENET.EDU>]

Why would anyone waste $250 (or any amount) on a set of encyclopedias up
to 5 years old? It doesn't matter that the set would be for in-class
projects. Misinformation and/or dated information is wrong regardless of
whether it comes from the classroom or the library.
