Recenzii

'It is certainly fascinating and physically attractive ... Britannica themselves have produced their own reprint of the same first edition ... [but] their quality of reproduction is not quite as good as this one, and it was trimmed to a slightly smaller size; it also lacked Frank Kafker's introduction ... this is a very desirable item to have in any major reference collection. A copy would be enlightening ... not just for the history of reference books, but also for the history of eighteenth century philosophy and culture: it is a fascinating monument to its times, as well as the prototype of one of the world's most famous reference titles.' - Stuart James, Editor of Reference Reviews and Library Review
