I for one would keep the UJE as well. It was produced in the late 1930s-early 1940s, at a time when there was a lot of overy anti-Semitism.
The UJE is almost top-heavy with information about Jews in American history, society, and life. The UJE had as a not-sohidden agenda to demonstrate just how very "American" American Jews were. Yes, it is rather dated, but there is valuable info there you will NOT find in the EJ (which was meant to be a tombstone) and the JE (which is horribly slanted away from the US) If you do not want to keep it, I know there are historians and genealogists who would give their eye-teeth for a set! The JE is, as Ann points out, on-line. The EJ is available on CD-ROM. But the UJE is a neglected and forgotten resource!
