Originally largely a reprint of the British Children's Encyclopaedia with revisions related to the United States by Holland Thompson, over time the encyclopedia evolved into a new entity entirely. It was published under a policy of continuous revision, meaning that there were no separate editions, but annual printings that were edited and updated by the publisher. Thompson remained editor until his death in 1940. From 1941 to 1960 it was edited by Ellen V. McLaughlin and from 1960 to 1966 by John D. Tedford. It covers the complexities of space, science, nature, technology, art, history, and culture, which are broken down into bite-sized chunks supported by statistics, maps, timelines, and cutting-edge graphics to make even the most complex subjects easy to understand.

A fully updated edition, including all the latest developments in science, technology, space and geography.Book values continually change depending on a number of market-driven factors. While it is impossible to list every possible encyclopedia value in a single article, knowing that most encyclopedias carry little value, how to spot those that do, and how to research current market prices can help you determine how much your encyclopedias are worth today. Armed with that information, you can decide what to do with your old encyclopedias. The problem, explains Lynn Roundtree, is that encyclopedias have no inherent value. Roundtree, who has more than 25 years of book appraisal experience, is the owner of Armadillo Books & Appraisals, based in Chapel Hill, NC. The print encyclopedia format simply cannot compete with online resources in terms of information accessibility, volume, price and date relevance. What Are My Encyclopedias Worth?
