All those you are missing are available on Internet Archive
http://www.archive.org/index.php search for Encyclopaedia Britannica (you
may have to choose texts first).
There are also volumes 30, 31 and a range of yearbooks going up into the
50s.
Best,
Ken

These are obviously the volumes that DSH was thinking of when he
wrote:

And certain uncharitable people thought it was a stupid question.

When you are done with Brittanica, there is always the Dictionary of
National Biography.

Even if - a very big if as DSH last perfomance makes difficult to
assume he was thinking of those extra volumes - those "uncharitable
people" have been found wrong it was once in a thousand times.
They have all my solidarity.

If that is the case, then I apologise.
I have volumes 1-2, 9-10, 17, 20-21, 23, 26, 29(Index) with no
indication of further volumes.

That's because there weren't any further volumes of the 1911 edition, Renia.
Supplements were published over a decade later, between editions.
The high educational and literary prestige of the 1911 edition has always
been unique to the 28 alphabetic volumes plus index that were issued in 1910
and 1911, as anyone pretending to knowledge about it - like Hines - ought to
know

Out of interest, Vol 29 (index) says of the various editions:
1st edition, 3 vols, published 1768-1771
2nd edition, 10 vols, published 1777-1784
3rd edition, 18 vols, published 1788-1797
4th edition, 20 vols, published 1801-1810
5th edition, 20 vols, published 1815-1817
6th edition, 20 vols, published 1823-1824
7th edition, 21 vols, published 1830-1842
8th edition, 22 vols, published 1853-1860
9th edition, 25 vols, published 1875-1889
10th edition, 9th edn + 11 supplementary vols, published 1902-1903
11th edition, 29 vols, published 1910-1911

I noticed today Oxfam Book Shop, Bedford [England] "Encyclopaedia
Britannica - 11th Edition - Much sought after and complete". £99 pounds.
Oxfam Bookshop
16 St. Pauls Square
BEDFORD Bedfordshire MK40 1SL
tel: 01234 213768
It occupied a few shelves, if I has read this thread earlier I could
have least stood there and counted the Volumes.

I got mine in a second-hand bookshop years ago, with many volumes
missing, sadly. Mine is the "handy volume issue".
