HANDBUCH DER PHYSIK

The volumes of the current edition of the Handbuch were published between 1955 and 1988. They contain a total of 389 articles, of which 289 (74%) are in English, 77 (20%) are in German, and 23 (6%) are in French. A complete set of the Handbuch der Physik requires about 8 feet (2.4 meters) of bookshelf space.
