One of the best encyclopedias even with the arrival of the unreliable Wikipedia, the World Book stands its ground for accurate amd reliable information in any subject matter. The articles are easy to understand even the scientific and technical ones. Filled with colorful photography, maps, and charts. I find reading it very enjoyable and vastly improved my knowledge. It literally feels you have a vast knowledge at your fingertips. The physical handling of the
books is superb and incomparable.
