I have questions about some reference purchases I am considering. Any
insight would be helpful. Thanks in Advance!

1. There are two encyclopedia sets I am considering for purchase. They have
good reviews and have won awards, but were published 7 years ago:
        Encyclopedia of Bioethics, Second Edition 1995 (ISBN #:0028973550)
        Encyclopedia of African-American Culture and History 1st Edition
plus supplement 1996-2000 (ISBN #: 0028973453)

Are these worth buying when the copyright is that old?

2. Contemporary Authors and Contemporary Literary Criticism: I am continuing
the collection. I thought I saw somewhere that you can get rid of older
books as you buy newer ones. Is this true, or was this happening on a
different thought plane somewhere?
