After two and a half centuries, the most storied encyclopedia in the world is about to stop printing. In 1990 they sold 120,000 copies. In 2010 the number had dropped to just 8,000.
The set had cost $1,395, but now people can pay $70/year for online access.
For all those who complain about trusting Wikipedia, $70 a year isn't so much...
