Oh hells yes. Where can I buy a series of specialist encyclopedias?
I think we're writing it.
Oh pfft, I mean a series of specialist encyclopedias THAT IS NOT WIKIPEDIA! :)
The first step would be finding a list of titles (this one is pulled from my library's search results):
* The Encyclopedia Americana * Encyclopedia and dictionary of medicine and nursing * Encyclopedia Canadiana * Gakugei hyakka jiten = Encyclopedia epoca * Encyclopedia for snare drum * Encyclopaedia Judaica year book * Encyclopedia Mensuelle d'Outre-Mer * Encyclopedia mythica * Encyclopedia of 20th-century architecture * Encyclopedia of 20th-century journalists * Encyclopedia of 20th century photography * Encyclopedia of 20th century warfare * Encyclopedia of acoustics * Encyclopedia of actuarial science * Encyclopedia of advertising * MacDonald's encyclopedia of Africa * Encyclopedia of African history and culture * Encyclopedia of agricultural science * Encyclopedia of American associations * Encyclopedia of American biography
... then go to Amazon, eBay, etc. and see if you can get a copy. Alternatively, borrow one from a library...
