Not my father's encyclopaedia

What should I do with my complete edition Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961, white leather bound, gold leaf trim, which I inherited?
Perhaps ship it off and donate it to Jimmy Wales... or Tim Berners-Lee... or Google... ;)

uh - save it! you're going to need it for heating when oil prices hit 200 / barrel.
(oh - that joke doesn't work here in quebec when we call get heating from hydro)

Dude, before you get rid of it, you have to read this book.

Totally a school library somewhere. Still plenty of kids who either don't have regular net access ($100-laptop-prototype notwithstanding) or who aren't allowed to use internet sources in their reports.
