The Encyclopedia Britannica 11th Edition is a 29 volume set!!!
I was just making a point. If a compilation of works counts as one book, then how are we to determine when 1 volume is or is not allowed? What if we do something insane and compile the entire EB into one volume? Would it count then?
And seriously - Is that what we would take to reflect humanities creative achievements and grand accumulation of innovation and insight? A friggin glorified dictionary!
That's not what I said, I don't think we should take the EB, encyclopedia's are far too brief on all their subjects. I'll see if I can compile a list of books this evening, but 10 is a bit less I think.
