A complete set currently is listed on ebay for $250.00. I think maybe your best chance for re-sale of partial set would be a shop where people can peruse the volumes, or to list bundles of 2-3 on etsy (including images of some interesting illustrations) for collage artists to buy. Actually, you might do well to carefully remove the illustration pages and sell them individually. It's a shame to ever destroy a book but space is at a premium for us all, and artists always are on the lookout for unique images to fabricate with.

Since you did not post pictures or state the condition of your books all anyone can do is present similar 'sold' items for you to compare with your books.

There were a lot of volumes to this series and some volumes may be more in demand than others.
Do your books run in correct numbers from volume 1 through 15? or are they mixed volumes? 15 volumes is not really a 'set' but 15 volumes of this series.
You should state this - which ever you have - in your for sale listing.

There are several sold 'sets' listed on eBay's sold site.
You can check some of these out to see how your books compare and make a determination about the 'value' of your books.
You can also check the listings to see how is the best way to write a description and also the type of pictures necessary for a good
listing.

As to where to sell:
You can try listing your books on any online site that you're familiar with. eBay is good for books but other sites also let people sell books.

In general, encyclopedias are not worth much unless they are over 100 years old, which yours is going to be soon. Hold on to it and then it will be classified as an antique.
