World Book Encyclopedia is an outstanding, beautifully illustrated, current general reference source for all age levels. The best encyclopedia is the one that gets used - and World Book has expended much effort studying the habits of readers, school curricula, and patterns of classroom use to ensure that this encyclopedia is one that will indeed be used.
For over 80 years,
World Book has been committed to publishing encyclopedias and references that meet the highest standards of editorial excellence while keeping pace with the technological developments that define the computer age. Today you can order, or simply peruse, all of the World Book publications online, at the
World Book website.
World Book updates its content more thoroughly and often than any other encyclopedia. Most multi-volume reference books revise 5 percent of their total pages. Each year, World Book revises more than a quarter of its entire content. This comprehensive adjustment covers: Topics, Vocabulary, Grade level, Interest level, Writing style, Maps, Photographs and Charts and graphs.
World Book articles are comprehensive and give readers a solid foundation about a subject, and are a vital resource for any student, or children. World Book encyclopedias contain numerous pictures and diagrams, as well as comprehensive - yet easy to follow - information on each of the thousands of topics.
