These books are only valuable to collectors, because they are under 100 years old . You may get $50 for the set. Try auction/bid for a better price!

Books such as this hold no value at all unless you are willing to keep them 100+ years. In most cases they are hard to donate and even harder to sell. In a few cases peple have been able to sell the books but for a very low price.

Normally around $25 or so is all they can get for them. It is best to sell locally so you don't need to ship the books to the person who buys them.

Encyclopedia Britannica sets do sell but value varies with year/edition, condition and sometimes where located. If selling 'pick up only' sales would be limited to your area but no shipping involved.

There have been two 1962 sets sold on eBay (January) in the past several months.
Check these links and compare to your set.
Sometimes you can pick up ideas from other sellers on how to list your books.

Condition is important and your set looks like it has a lot of damage to the tops of the spines so that will lower the value.

I would suggest listing them on several local venues like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, LetGo, OfferUp, USA Forsale and start your price higher and lower it if no one shows an interest.
