 I talked to Britannica sales last week since they solicited me for
 a paper copy of the year book.  For $50 and the serial number from
 the hub of the CD, you can have the new 1997 edition CD to replace the
 original 1995 edition CD that was sold for everything from $200 to
 $1000.  Sales also said that the new version does not require
 the dongle.  Also, they have some hard copy 1995 editions on sale
 for $695 +$50 shipping.

    I really don't know how it compares in word count or in any other way
    to the Britannica, but I recently got the unabridged text version of
    Colliers on CD by redeeming my AT&T True USA points :-).

Well, I'd at least expect Collier's to have detailed information about coal 
mining...
