Talk:Encyclopedia Americana

message: :Is that a question?  And which edition?  According to one contemporary source, the original price (1832, at which time several volumes had been issued) was to be $2.50 per volume for 12 volumes, or $30 total.  What it actually cost, I couldn't tell you at the moment.  And 13 volumes were issued. flux.books 23:22, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm an American and have accesss to Britannica online and the print version and both use British spelling, also. It's domain is .com, not .co.uk and it spells certain words like meter as metre. Do versions in the UK say "British English" on them? Britannica is run in Chicago but I think they try to pretend they're British because of the name of the work.--Primetime 14:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When Britannica came under American ownership it did not abandon British spelling, and it indeed did maintain a connection to British scholarship. Of course, this has nothing to do with Encyclopedia Americana. --Aaron Walden  21:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The Sutter thing does not go very well with the rest of the article but I found it interesting when I learnt about it, so I WP:BOLD.
Perhaps you can sandwich it with "The encyclopedia was useful for the pioneers... as shown in the case of Sutter...". --84.20.17.84 12:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the old Encyclopedia Americana before 1923 in the public domain? WooyiTalk to me? 22:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. In the US, anything published prior to 1923 is in the public domain, and since this is an American work, it will also be in the public domain in those countries with the rule of the shorter term with respect to the US. The first mention in the renewals is in 1927, so 1923-1926 EA may also be in the PD.--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:57, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
