Review: Good quality - Great product Review: Great Condition - Got a great price on this encyclopedia set. It was a library copy but the books are in great condition. I took off all the library stickers on the front, side and back and they all came off easily with no damage to the books. It took a little time to get the stickiness from the stickers off but it was well worth the small effort to get such a great quality set for less. ## Features - Over 1,500 new and revised articles reflect new advancements and research. - New biographies cover such notable figures as British politician Jeremy Corbyn, gymnast Simone Biles, and even the famous movie monster Godzilla - Revised articles feature new content on such developments as the first image of a black hole's event horizon and Tiger Woods's return to the top tier of professional golf - Extensive revisions to such longer articles as Automobile racing, Basketball, and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) - In addition to 17,000 articles, there is useful advice for elementary through intermediate grades students about studying and report writing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,610,238 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #26,099 in Encyclopedias & Subject Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 84 Reviews | ## Images ![The World Book Encyclopedia 2020 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZEkVCIaWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by L***Y on July 30, 2025* Great product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Condition *by M***C on August 17, 2023* Got a great price on this encyclopedia set.
