[Foundation-l] [WikiEN-l] Stopping the presses: Britannica to stop printing books

I had a small encyclopedia at home (only one volume, but a massive volume)
and there was a copy of Britannica in the local library and, later, at
secondary school.

But I started getting frustrated with them when I was about 12 or 13,
because the shorter articles rarely answered the questions I had, and I
never happened t be looking up something with one of the longer articles...

(all of this was a good few years the Internet took off...)
