MID: opinions on WW I&II books

[JoAnn Bronschidle <Bronsch@AOL.COM>]

I have the opportunity to purchase at a discount the Grolier Library of World War I 
and of World War II.  Both are 8 volume sets.  Does anyone have these sets, and if 
so please tell me what you think of them.  Are they useful for assignments (i.e. 
info easy to find) as well as more indepth reports.  The catalog stresses the 
primary materials in the WWII set (diaries, letters, eyewitness accounts).  Does it 
give enough to make it worthwhile?  I am weeding alot of the really old, 
unattractive books on these areas and am looking for good replacements.  TIA
