  "Don't remember an encyclopedia salesman knocking at your door lately? 
Turns out, fewer Americans are purchasing layaway plans for heavy-bound 
multiple-volume sets (once sold at $1,400) and turning to the Web for 
answers, according to AP/Miami Herald. What's more interesting is that 
even the software encyclopedias are not selling as well, with Google 
changing the landscape of finding good reference information. 
'Microsoft's $70 Encarta is the best seller but industrywide sales for 
encyclopedia software fell 7.3 percent in 2003 from 2002,' says 
Associated Press article."
