What makes the World Book difference?
More than 27,000 rich photographs and
illustrations are combined with
comprehensive, highly readable text to
appeal to a broad range of readers.
More than 3,800 contributors--all
experts in their field--collaborate with
our editors and researchers to ensure
that each article is accurate and
reflects current scholarship. The
articles are written in a clear, direct
style, starting with relatively basic
information, advancing in depth as they
progress. World Book revision rates make
it the most current and up-to-date
encyclopedia available. In the past five
editions (2001 through 2005), nearly 500
new articles were added to World Book
and about 800 articles were extensively
revised. In addition, each year over
2,100 articles were partially revised.
Revisions were made on an average of
4,500 pages in each edition--over 32
percent of the total pages in World
Book. The 2005 edition continues the
World Book tradition of editorial
excellence. Highlighting the edition is
complete coverage of the United States
presidential election. This coverage
includes revisions of 19 articles spread
over 10 volumes of the encyclopedia. The
edition also reports winners of the 2004
