The thin is I can not find world history book or dvd set. She has a degree in history and love to ready .

anyone know were I can get a complete world history book or dvd set???

Answer 1

If your friend has a degree in history you need to find out which  particular period or aspect of history most interests her and then tailor the gift to that.  (European or American or Asian history?   ancient, Medieval or Modern?  Social or political or economic history?) World history is too vast a field and anything you could find, such as a basic encyclopedia, would probably not be of much use to her.

I'm a historian myself so please trust me on this.

Answer 2

To get one on the entire history of the world would be very difficult, is there a specific time period she is more interested in than others?

Edit:Ok then. Here are some suggestions.
