Probably the Scott's Stamp Catalogs

"I used to have a 2-volume set of hardbound books that showed every stamp in the world(?) that has been issued. "
That had to have been a long, long, long time ago. The Scott standard catalog is now 6 volumes. The 2017 catalogs come out starting in April (2016) and will cost (I believe) $124.99 each. Used catalogs from previous years cost considerably less, and can be found online.
The 2017 catalog set will be the last edition for the "standard" catalog. While Scott hasn't said what the 2018 catalogs will look like (announcement from Scott is expected within the next few weeks), talk around the water cooler is speculating that the catalogs will become regional like Gibbons and Michel based on some hints given by Scott a couple of months ago, such as "we can't figure out where some countries belong".
Scott also publishes a Classic Stamp Catalog (hardbound) covering the world from 1840-1940, with the British issues covering the complete George VI range up to 1953. It is a very nice catalog, but the current price is $174.99. It is released each year in November.
One might think that the cost for the 6-volume set is high. I am afraid to guess at what the cost for a complete set of regional catalogs will be.

Thank you so much. I guess I'll be just searching for these facts one at a time online

Two cheap options:
Online and somewhat incomplete: try sites like colnect or stampworld.com. You can search by country and denomination.
Offline and more complete: your local library may have stamp catalogues for reference or to borrow.
I'm not sure where you live hudakore, but lots of north American libraries carry Scott catalogues. If you're outside North America take a look for Stanley gibbons or Michel catalogues.

I used to have a 2-volume set of hardbound books that showed every stamp in the world(?) that has been issued. It had thumbnail images of the stamps and their value both in mint condition and postmarked/canceled. I can't even remember the name of these books or what they were called so I haven't been able to check up on what they would cost now. They were very useful and actually fun to browse through.
