I have 3 sets of encyclopedias. Mother's encyclopedia copyright 1942, World Wide encyclopedia copyright 1935, and The Wonderland of Knowledge encyclopedia copyright 1964. The Wonderland set also has year books dated from 1965 to 1972. How much are each of these sets worth?

Unfortunately, they are worth very little since they are not antiques (over 100 years old)
For the Mothers...without a picture, it is hard to give an apples to apples...there were two in the sold section of eBay--check to see which one looks like yours to give you a current market value idea if you are going to sell or insure:
www.ebay.com/
www.ebay.com/
NOTE: the one where a best offer was accepted...that could have been any amount from 1 cent up to 1 cent BELOW the asking price...so that is not the best gauge for ACTUAL, but it gives a range.
The Wonderland...again with out a pix it is hard to give an exact value...and also there don't appear to be any comparable listed at the moment...I can tell you that a 1958 version sold for $30 plus shipping (be aware some versions are much rarer and more collectible)
www.ebay.com/
For the World Wide version...if this is your set...you may want to "Watch" an eBay feature....this auction and see how much it sells for and how long it takes to sell. The asking price is $35. Watching it will give you an idea what you are up against if you sell it yourself.
If your intent is to sell and you are at all artsy...and don't mind deconstructing books....people do well making lamps out of these OR deconstructing them and framing and selling some of the neater or more unusual pages.
I love whoever made this version of a lamp www.google.com/
