I have an encyclopedia that says Werner Encyclopedia, but it doesn't say Britannica. It is dated 1909 and was published in Akron, Ohio. I was hoping to get some information on that encyclopedia.

Since its over 100 years old, it's considered an antique. I would go to several book dealers and see what they say.
Hello i sent a question last time and I have come to a conclusion with proof that I have a 1908 1910 saalfield company\werner company revised set of the 9th brittanica never published and not legally copyrighted taken to court by brittanica for copyright issues the company had to pay Appleton cyclopedia and not sell any copy's since hooper now had rights to the 9th brittanica leaving them with this one and only set.I also found that this is considered public domain now.but since this is the only set by that company before shouting down in 1910 could I continue the project and publish it with a company ?
This part was copyrighted by the Werner company in the united states section along with more articles copyrighted by saalfield
I have a 1907 set. Unfortunately I have not found information on this set. If you find anything please let me know
My great great grandfather was Paul Werner founder of the Werner company who printed the encyclopedias. They basically added a foreword to the encyclopedia britannica and put a new cover on it. Which caused the copyright issues.
You have a complete set, are you interested in selling. It is family history for me a really unique story
I have a full set of Werner Encyclopaedias dated 1909. If you are interested please email to : smraduj@gmail.com.
I have 11 Americanized encyclopedia Britannica from Saalfield Publishing dated 1901. I saw Werner name on it. Don't know anything about them.
