Title: The Book of Knowledge – The Children’s Encyclopedia, 20-Vol. Complete Set (c. 1949)
Editor: E. V. McLoughlin • Publisher: Grolier Society

This is a full 20-volume children’s encyclopedia set from around 1949, edited by E. V. McLoughlin and published by the Grolier Society. All volumes are present and all pages are intact — no missing pages. The set is sold “as-is” and shows significant wear consistent with its age: cloth or boards show scuffing and aging, bindings may be slightly loose, pages show foxing, and covers/spines show visible wear.

A charming vintage reference set, full of mid-century colour illustrations and children’s educational content. Makes a great display piece or reader’s reference for vintage book lovers.

Condition: Rough vintage condition; volumes complete; extensive shelf wear and foxing present; bindings intact but not pristine.
