Encyclopedia Britannica Ending Print

After 244 years of printing the world's combined knowledge, Encyclopedia Britannica has announced that they will cease print editions and move fully into digital.

What started as a single book back in 1768, out of Scotland, has become a thirty-two volume set out of Chicago.

Encyclopaedia Britannica President Jorge Cauz says the company has seen "the end of the print set" for a while now.

Record sales in 1990 of 120,000 sets had dropped down to 40,000 by 1996, and only continued to decline.

Printed editions of Encyclopedia Britannica will now go the way of collectors items.
