The rather wonderful 34-volume Encyclopedia Hebraica can easily be
found on a popular Israeli "free giveaway" site with the same
condition... and at a lot of garbage containers :,,(

Even though it was last updated in 1980, i have all the volumes right
near my working desk and i actually open it at least once a month to
actually find information.
