Recenzii

"Witty and geekily eclectic. ... Celebrates encyclopaedias in all their quirky, leatherbound glory." — The Times (London)

"An erudite and amusing exploration of the human quest for knowledge." — Financial Times

"A pleasure. Garfield writes fluidly, cheerily and charmingly, even while the breeziness does not detract from the scale of his ambition: to understand nothing less than humans’ need for knowledge and how to convey and preserve it." — The Spectator (Australia)
"Quirky and entertaining. ... Fast-paced and fact-filled, this entertaining compendium is a worthy tribute to the pursuit of knowledge." — Publishers Weekly

"Entertaining and informative." — The Canberra Times (Australia)
