1.0 out of 5 stars A bad deal, December 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Webster's Gold Encyclopedia 2000 (CD-ROM)

Although nowhere in the packaging will you see this information, this is a British encyclopedia. It used British spellings. It has tons of information about voting districts in London and is missing basic information about the United States. I frankly felt defrauded by this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars I was "fascinated"!, July 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Webster's Gold Encyclopedia 2000 (CD-ROM)

When I first bought it, I thought it's a pretty good tool for school. However, I was very disappointed at this encyclopedia. It hardly have any information in it. Also, it has only a small amount of pictures, audios, etc. The other CDs that come with the main encyclopedia is not that good, too. I feel that the only thing helpful is The Hutchinson Educational Encyclopedia 2000. If I'm you, I wouldn't decide to buy it.
