Call me crazy, but one day I want to read the whole thing.

Poor in comparison to the Encyclopedia Galactica. Totally overpriced, too. But DON'T PANIC, people - the Encyclopedia Galactica has you covered!*

as a kid i would sit and read Encyclopaedia Britannica. I would pick an article and hop to another one mentioned in it and see how long a chain i could make from the original starting point!

I have subscribed to the online version for a number of years. It is simply the best encyclopedia. Encyclopedia Britannica is not infallible, though. After intermittently pointing out several errors over the course of a year or two, I received a snarky email from an editor. Also, the Encyclopedia Britannica should consider offering discounts to long-term subscribers like myself.

My dad bought a set of these when I was 14 or 15, and I often got jacked up on caffeine and read some of the 'macropedia' (long version article half of the set). [The micropedia is pretty mcuh your standard enclyclopedia- short entries on everythings from Aardvarks to Zymurgy] The macropedia has some great articles on just about anything. There is also an index to learning in the front that puts everything in a comprehensive manner--Essentially, if you can't get into a fancy private university o My dad bought a set of these when I was 14 or 15, and I often got jacked up on caffeine and read some of the 'macropedia' (long version article half of the set).

Works well in conjunction with the Great Books of the Western World series. ...more

A set of these plus some other related books appeared in our house some time in the mid-fifties and stayed with the family until the 90's. They didn't get much use after the 60's but I used them a lot in my schoolwork. Mostly I just copied reports verbatim. Didn't seem to bother the teachers any. "Cobalt" and "John Cabot" come to mind. There must have been others. Date read is approximate. A set of these plus some other related books appeared in our house some time in the mid-fifties and stayed with the family until the 90's.

I was so torn while reading this book. I couldn't tell if it was fiction or non-fiction. The drama was almost unbearable at times, riveting and engrossing. Then there were times when an Ambien would have kept me awake trying to turn the pages. Overall...the ending really made the book. I was so torn while reading this book.

A bit long, but very comprehensive.

I love these. I bought the set as a graduation present for myself. And of course I haven't read it all. I love these. I bought the set as a graduation present for myself. And of course I haven't read it all. ...more

Superbly written, just such a shame it goes out of date so quickly and is so expensive. Was a great resource, even though I think I valued it far more than my children ever did.
