5.0 out of 5 stars A Must have for any house, December 9, 2004

By 

King John "Lackland" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: World Book Encyclopedia (Hardcover)

The world book is one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written throughout the history of mankind. It is a thorough compelation of everything a person needs to know. I read the book everynight, and its deep characters and intense plots captivate my children. It is a great reference book for school work, and mere curiosity. My children love to delve in between the lines of text of the World Book. And their curiosity and desire to attain knowledge is well fed by the World Book. It is a great resource for anyone to have, and truly encourages children and adults alike to learn the most they can about the world around them

5.0 out of 5 stars Only reference books needed if stranded on a Desert Island., October 24, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: World Book Encyclopedia (Hardcover)

If you were to be stranded on a Desert Island, I would think that you might want to remember as much about the world and be able to review it as often as possible. The books will also help with a lot of survival skills in referring to how we used to live by our wits and environment.
