Vol. 10 was suppressed by the Party Censorship in 1937 and the whole project was abandoned in 1939 and with it also a projected final 12th volume. Some part versions of vol. 10 did however survive in the home library of one of the contributors, and was published as a reprint in Munich in 1991. The present set is a complete original of the first and only edition. Friche's "Literaturnaya entsiklopediya" is an invaluable work of reference information and remains a scholarly resource.

Since the encyclopedia was published only once it soon became a bibliographical rarity. Note: extra shipping cost due to size and weight. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5325
