I have a set of the three volume edition that I bought at a flea market (I’m sure for under $10) in the early 1990s. I started reading it but didn’t go more than a couple of hundred pages, not because I had anything against it but because there were other things to do with my time, I sat it aside for later, and suddenly 30 years passed.

I have two complete antique editions (well, one of them is missing one volume) of the entire 18 volume set. I know that the original owner(s) never read the whole thing, because a lot of the pages had never been cut.
