== ''Everyman's Encyclopaedia'' == {{main|Everyman's Encyclopaedia}} A notable addition to the library was a multi-volume encyclopedia, which was added to the range in 1913. Individual volumes could be purchased separately, enabling the set to be budgeted over time. The fifth edition was published in 1967, by which time it consisted of 12 volumes, containing 7763 pages. The page size was {{convert|9|by|5|in|cm}}, but as the printing was 8 point, a large amount of information was contained in each volume. As a volume only weighed about {{cvt|1.25|kg}}, it was considered a better size for use by children.{{citation needed|date=February 2016}}
