No, but I have a set from the late 70s, early 80s that could stand a new home as well. I wonder if Guardian Angel in Fuquay would be interested.
I disagree, most of history occurred before these were published. I am sure a needy family with kids in school would love them. Maybe talk to a history teacher and see if they are aware of a family that could use them. Even though I have access to the Internet, I still look items up in my early 80's Funk & Wagnalls
The guidelines for any school that is accredited is that encyclopedias should not be older than 10 years. Think of everything that has happened in the last 20 years, including advances in technology, and you will understand why I said they were not worth anything now. If the set is from the 60s, the Vietnam Conflict has either not happened, or it is still going on. If it's from the 70s, there are many countries that do not exist yet, wars that have not happened, the Soviet Union is in an arms race with us, etc. There is no digital technology, computers are not "personal computers" but take entire rooms to run, there are no cell phones/DVDs/CDs, etc. Some companies that recycle phone books will also recycle encyclopedias. You just have to call to ask.
