The Collegiate Encyclopedia (Easton Press Collector's Edition)
MERRIAM-WEBSTER, INC. The Collegiate Encyclopedia. Norwalk, Connecticut: The Easton Press, 2003.
Large Octavo. Full deep blue leather. Spine with raised bands, 22-carat gilt accents. Gilt design and lettering to covers and spine. All edges gilt. Moiré silk endpapers. Satin ribbon page marker. 1,792 pp. Over 25,000 articles and over 2,000 photographs and illustrations throughout. Collector's Edition. Based on the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Encyclopedia, Springfield, Massachusetts: Merriam-Webster, Incorporated, 2000.
Merriam-Webster, Incorporated — the Springfield, Massachusetts publishing house whose history extends back to George and Charles Merriam's acquisition of rights to Noah Webster's dictionary in 1843 — occupies an unusual position in the history of American reference publishing: a company whose name, through continuous association with the most widely used dictionary in the United States, became synonymous with lexicographical authority. The Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Encyclopedia, first published in 2000, extended that authority into general encyclopaedic reference, drawing on the breadth of the Merriam-Webster editorial tradition to produce a single-volume encyclopaedia of over 25,000 articles covering the full range of human knowledge — history, geography, science, the arts, biography, and current events — with more than 2,000 photographs and illustrations.
Single-volume encyclopaedias occupy a specific and useful place in any reference library: they are broad enough to answer most general enquiries and compact enough to be consulted immediately and without the escalating commitment that a multi-volume encyclopaedia requires. The Collegiate Encyclopedia is particularly well suited to this function, combining the editorial precision for which Merriam-Webster is known with a scope that extends well beyond language into the full range of subjects a general reader or student is likely to encounter. The Easton Press Collector's Edition of 2003 presents the complete text in a large octavo leather binding designed for permanent reference use.
Fine. Presenting as new.
Please note: This is a large and heavy single-volume reference work and may require additional postage costs. If so, we will contact you after purchase.
