Best Reference!

Among the many Encyclopedias in my Library, I would first refer to World Book coz this is the Best Reference Book I ever come across so handy. Apart from this, I possess Everyman's Encyclopedia, Hamlyn's Children Encyclopedia, Groliers & Microsoft Encarta CDs, Brittanica Encylopedia, Collier's two Books, Oxford and a couple of kids encylopedias. These are oceans of knowledge and great storehouse of information. Each have their own peculiarities and each encyclopedia for me is a prize collection when it comes to finding on specific topics and comparisons. For example, the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's info is missed out in World book but too informative in Microsoft Encarta. Whereas, World Book presents very good History and biography sections. Encarta has good sports, music and arts, etc section that I found interesting. Oxford and Collier's is quick easy glance for readers. Hamlyn's best for kids reference. I guess for people who are into research, students using for projects etc. should go for World Book Encylopedia, secondly sort for Microsoft Encarta CD - Rest all is ocean of knowledge, Enjoy!
