Buyer-Focused Description

A substantial vintage reference volume from the 1958 Encyclopaedia Britannica set, this is Volume 16, “Mushroom to Ozonides.” The volume covers alphabetical entries beginning with Mushroom and continuing through Ozonides, with detailed articles, historical information, geography, science, culture, biography, and illustrated reference material. The title page identifies Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., with William Benton as publisher, and the copyright page states 1958.

The book has the characteristic burgundy textured hardcover binding with decorative gilt spine lettering and Britannica emblem. The interior includes the original title and copyright pages as well as illustrated, two-column reference text; photographed examples include the entries for Mushroom and New South Wales. This is an excellent replacement volume for a 1958 Britannica set, a period reference collection, or display on a traditional library shelf.
