Reference Books

If the paper is acid free paper of good quality then the books that are over 100 years old can still be usable. Just keep the damp and bugs away. I have a set of Encyclopedia Britannica 11th edition that I still use and they are in great shape. I got them at a garage sale for 10 bucks.

Speaking of yards sales, second hand shops and such, I ran across a deal today. I bought a complete set of encyclopedia Britannica that includes a two book dictionary, a science of the future book and a bound world atlas. All are from 1958. They may be outdated by today's standards but, not for tomorrow's. I paid $10 for everything.
