I would kind of like to have them again. I find it interesting to see how knowledge has changed over time. And I suspect the grandsons would probably even leaf through them.

My parents bought us a full set of Britannica. In about 1967 we received the new year update, and I looked though it. One new word was astronaut, and it had a good description of what that meant.
Another brand new word was Hippie. The definition was "one who is hip" and that did not help me one iota. We were Montgomery Alabama at the time, and there were no hippies around.
In 1969 we moved to Hawaii again. On the road trip to California we spent a few nights as some friends that lived in San Fransisco, and they took us through Haight-Ashbury. Hippies were everywhere. We stopped and I bought a Doors poster at a poster shop. It was tossed long ago, but likely would have been valuable if in good shape now.
