Encyclopædia Britannica 15th Edition Set

This is a comprehensive multi-volume set of the Encyclopædia Britannica, specifically identified as the 15th Edition based on the binding design and volume numbering. The collection features a uniform bound construction with dark emerald green or black faux-leather (leatherette) covers and spines. The spines are prominently decorated with gold-toned (gilt) lettering and horizontal banding. Notable markings include the 'Britannica' title, volume numbers, and the distinct fleur-de-lis or similar heraldic emblem at the top of each spine. The set follows the 15th edition's three-part structure, indicated by the color-coded panels on the lower spine: red panels for the 'Micropædia' (Ready Reference) volumes and black/green panels for the 'Macropædia' (Knowledge in Depth) volumes, along with the 'Propædia'. Physically, the books are standard encyclopedia height (approximately 11 inches). The condition appears well-preserved for a reference set, with uniform spine alignment and no visible structural peeling or 'cockling' of the bindings, though minor shelf wear and light dust accumulation are present due to storage on industrial metal racking. The craftsmanship reflects the late 20th-century mass-production standard for high-end home and library reference sets, likely dating from the 1970s to the 1990s.
