Originally published from 1875 to 1889, the 9th edition is often referred to as a high point of scholarship, or the scholar edition. It has been critically acclaimed as the most scholarly edition of Britannica. Print volumes are increasingly difficult to find, get it here on DVD and keep it forever! (We also have the 11th Edition of Britannica on DVD. Check out our other items) Britannica is the oldest English language encyclopedia that is still in print. Originally published starting in 1768 in Edinburgh, it quickly grew in popularity and size. The 3rd edition in 1801 reached 20 volumes. The rising stature of Britannica helped recruit eminent scholars as contributors. The 9th edition is regarded as a landmark encyclopedia for scholarship and literary style. This DVD ROM disk contains the entire 24 Volumes, plus 1 index Volume, all in pdf format, about 22,000 pages total! Stick it on your laptop, and have plenty of leisurely reading to do on your next plane ride! You will need Adobe Reader 5.0 or higher to read the files on this disk, available for free online or is already on your machine. Note: This is a DVD-ROM disc, not a CD! There is simply too much information here to put on a CD. There's almost 4 GIGABYTES (that's 4,000 megabytes) of data here. Twenty Two Thousand pages of this historic text in pdf format. Great for: History buffs Academic scholars Literature fans Educators This encyclopedia was first published over 125 years ago. Print volumes are increasingly difficult to find. And if you were to find one, expect to pay! And then, do you really want to flip through the pages of a collector's encyclopedia and lower its value? With this DVD rom disk, you can pop it in your laptop on a plane and read along as much as you like. With 22,000 pages, I doubt you'll ever get to it all! But, for those individuals looking to do research on the ideas and beliefs of the 19th century, there is no better source than the 9th edition of the encyclopedia Britannica! I know this goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. To play DVD's, you need a DVD-ROM drive in your computer. These DVD's will not play in your CD-ROM drive. We are not responsible for your hardware problems if you purchase this disk without realizing you don't have a DVD-ROM drive! Thank you for looking, and God Bless America. All books are in PDF format on a custom DVD delivered to your door. You can print out as many copies as you need on your home printer. You will need a free copy of Adobe Reader that you can download for free online. IMPORTANT NOTICE: I have to say it once again, this edition has each volume in its own PDF file, with each volume close to a thousand pages. It is not in some sort of software format like all the new versions of Brittanica. These are scanned pages combined into PDF files. The last volume is the index. It is a little pain in the butt to search through it and it can be a little difficult to read through all of it. But, you can do a "find" in Acrobat and search for key words in a specific volume, and it will find them. And finally, each volume is copy protected with our business name on it. Also, the files are rather large in size, so I recommend at least 500 MB of RAM on your machine, but I strongly recommend at least 1 GB of RAM. I recommend you move the files to your hard drive in order to read them, so keep all this in mind before you purchase.

Questions and Answers: Why should I buy from you? There are lots of places to buy this stuff on ebay. What makes you so special? What separates us from the rest is that we want you to be happy. If you're happy, you'll buy from us again and tell your friends. Getting one sale from you is great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that. It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer. If you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem. How many sellers will say that? Yeah, so, lots of people sell this on ebay. Are you saying the rest of them will rip me off? No, of course not. But, beware of what people sell on ebay. Many of the CD's you see being sold here, are nothing more than a bunch of links to websites all over the place. Why would you want to buy a bunch of links from the internet on CD only to get the CD and go back on the internet for your information? Doesn't make sense to us. All of our advertised books and plans are right there on the CD in PDF format that you can read with a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader that is freely available online. All of our software is right there on the disk. No links to dead web pages, no garbage junk, just the quality stuff you are looking for. Shipping and Payment information Pay through PayPal using: We are centrally located in America's heartland in the great state of Tennessee! All items will be shipped out within 1 business day to your PayPal address. We will only ship to your PayPal verified address. Please view our shipping and sales tax rules on our shipping and payments tab above. All items are shipped by USPS first class mail. In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers. All of our disks are labeled with a clean label and some graphics. The disks are made this way for speed and cost, which translates into lower cost for you. We focus our efforts on the quality of the material on the disk. We do not believe in charging you an extra 3 or 4 dollars like some companies out there just to throw in a 25 cent plastic case and slap a color label on an item. We believe you purchase for content, and ours is the best, although we still believe you will be pleased with the presentation. PLEASE READ ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay's estimates, not ours. Sometimes ebay's dates are completely unrealistic. Every effort is made to get your item out the next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since the USPS does not give us a guarantee either. Below is our estimates on what to expect: USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in about 1 week after we ship them depending on where you are at. However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very cooperative with us and we've had a couple of customers wait a few days longer than that. If the item does not arrive, please email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right. NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship them. We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments. The only explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some container in some dock waiting on customs clearance. It happens, and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very little we can do about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace it. Multiple items purchased by the same customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our discretion. We do not offer any additional discounts on multiple items other than the ones noted above. Feedback Policy: Please offer us a chance to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad feedback. If negative feedback is left without any prior communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in communicating and working things out. If you run into issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain from opening a request on ebay and email us directly by asking a question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a request! If you have any questions prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us know. Thank you!!!!!! Copyright notice and disclaimer: We ARE THE AUTHOR OF THIS DISK.
