ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA 14TH EDITION 1929-30 HALF LEATHER COMPLETE 24 VOLUMES

Description: From the Britannica website: The 14th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica differed from its predecessors both in the scope of its contents and in the method of its construction. The rapid changes in the world since the publication of the 11th edition meant that no one editor could claim the omniscience that would have been needed to organize the whole field of human knowledge. Thus, for the 14th edition there were more than 50 associate editors in London and New York who advised on their own subjects, while the coordinating work was performed by staffs in both offices. J L Garvin was editor in chief, Franklin H Hooper was U.S. editor, and Warren E. Cox, was art director. Four ideals of the 14th edition were stated in the preface: to promote international understanding, to strengthen the bonds between the English-speaking peoples, to promote interest in and support for science, and to sum up the ideas of the age for future generations. Some of the notable contributors to the 1929 edition: Lon ChaneyCecille B DeMilleG K ChestertonLillian GishT E LawrenceLewis MumfordEdmund HusserlJohn J PershingK S StanislavskyGene TunneyOrville Wright A rare binding for this edition: half leather with cloth boards and blind stamped date "1768" with fleurette pattern on front boards. Gilt page tops. Pages and illustrations are in excellent condition, clean and bright, no markings or tears that I could see. leather spines show some scuffing at top/bottom spines; two volumes have some loss to leather (see pics), otherwise in very good condition for a 95 year old set. I have not seen another set of the 14th edition with this half leather binding. Complete 24 volume set.
