The alphabetical encyclopedia began at the beginning of volume 2. The price was reduced to 24 shillings per volume, cloth-bound. In addition to the Edinburgh sets, more sets were authorized by Britannica to the London publishers Simpkin, Marshall and Company, [22] and to Little, Brown and Company of Boston.
There were several binding and decorative options according to how much the subscriber wished to pay: leather, cloth-covered board or plain board. The bookbinder marked the page numbers on the spine of each volume. This means sets are variable in binding and even in the number of volumes. The following have been noted:
Anglo-American Encyclopedia and Dictionary (1902) - an unauthorized reprint of portions of the Encyclopedia Britannica with an unrelated dictionary attached. (Link includes vols. 2-4, 6-9, 11-12) New American Comprehensive Encyclopedia (1906) (Link includes vols. 1, 3 and 4) Century Book of Facts (1902) a quasi-annual one volume work
A note on the separate status of the Wikimedia Endowment. The Wikimedia Endowment, held from 2016 to 2023 by the Tides Foundation and now a standalone 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is not and has never been included in Wikimedia Foundation assets, even though Wikimedia Foundation fundraising staff solicit donations to the Endowment and the Wikimedia Foundation itself made donations to the Endowment.
The sets reputation was also marred by complaints to the Federal Trade Commission about the practices of the encyclopedias vendors. These were Cease and Desist Orders Docket #3349 in 1938, #3428 in 1939 and #4554 in 1942. [9] Despite its annual revision, the encyclopedia was often out of date due to lax and inconstant editing.
