5.0 out of 5 stars Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, May 14, 2007
This review is from: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
Good (print) encyclopedias are hard to find these days. The Britannica is one of the best. Excellent articles, no wasted words, a fine buy at the price. I sent one to my daughter after she admired mine. I rate it a 10 out of 10

5.0 out of 5 stars great service, faster than expected, October 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This "Britannica Concise Encyclopedia" is really concise although it is still very thick (about 2100 pages, and 2 columns/page). It contains large information about many broad subjects such as Arts, Business, Computers, Geography, History, Literature, Medicine, Philosophy, Politics, Pop Culture, Science, and Sports. However, it does not have much specific natural sciences: Mathematics, Chemistry or Physics (nevertheless, computer and science are there). In short, this is a good one-volume encyclopedia.
