A magnificent achievement, though those considering buying it should be warned that it costs a king's ransom. Often you can get your public or university library to acquire it, if it doesn't have it already, though it will usually be put in the non-circulating reference section.

I didn't know about the on line version, which would be great, though it may be by subscription only -- I'm just speculating, but such things often are. If it is, it still may be possible to get free access through a public or university library.

Despite the cost, I'd love to have a set myself, but unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, there is no room in my house for more books.
