I recall when Dr. Greg Bahnsen in 1974 told me that the library of his alma mater, Westmont College, was selling a set of McClintock and Strong's Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature for $10. In today's money, $46. That was under $4 per volume.

I was in West Los Angeles. I immediately got in my car and drove 85 miles to buy it. I still have it on a shelf in my office library. (My main library of 13,000 volumes is at American Vision's offices, a few miles down the road.)

It is now online: Archive.org. The texts are clear. Volume 2 is missing.

It is also on Google books.
