It was pointed out elsewhere that the Italian *Enciclopedia Italiana* ( *Treccani*) is available in print with the last appendix published in 2020, and that the national encyclopedia of Azerbaijan (*Azərbaycan Milli Ensiklopediyası*) is not only published in print but still in the middle of being written, so the article's claim that this is the last paper encyclopedia might not be entirely accurate. //Johan Jönsson -- Den mån 3 juli 2023 kl 11:55 skrev David Gerard : > It's sort of nice to know we didn't take out the entire sector: > > > https://arstechnica.com/culture/2023/06/rejoice-its-2023-and-you-can-still-buy-a-22-volume-paper-encyclopedia/ > > World Book still does a physical edition, selling a few thousand of > each edition of their paper encyclopedia set for $1,199.
