The World Book Encyclopedia, 1995

As we said for last year's edition: "Recommended in Best Reference Books, Sheehy, and General Reference Books for Adults , and consistently chosen by kids above other references in the classroom library (we've witnessed this). World Book is a superb reference appropriate for juvenile readers through high school, as well as for adults who don't mind the slant toward students. Its hallmarks are clarity, meticulous updating, and balanced, sufficiently detailed writing." Updated annually. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
