<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7655644, member: 110350&quot;]I imagine that it probably weighs even more than my set of the famous Encyclopedia Britannica 11th edition (with supplemental volumes, together comprising the 12th and 13th editions), which I purchased on my first trip to England in 1986, at a wonderful rare bookstore across the street from the British Museum. The proprietor was a lovely, tiny old man who precisely fit my mental image of what a London rare bookseller should look like. I don&#039;t remember how much it cost to ship the set to me in New York -- and it did travel on a ship! -- but it took months to arrive. I&#039;m still very glad I bought it, back in those pre-Internet days when one depended largely on serendipity to find old books.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1316158[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
