No. Great Books of the Western World is a 60-volume set of hardbound books published by Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., a for-profit corporation. Encyclopaedia Britannica’s phone number is +1 312 347 7000. The Great Books Foundation publishes anthologies that include many of the same authors who appear in Great Books of the Western World, but our books are low-cost paperback editions designed specifically for use with book discussion groups. Robert Maynard Hutchins, former president of the University of Chicago, and Mortimer J. Adler, a respected educational philosopher, helped launch both the Great Books Foundation and the Encyclopaedia Britannica series.
