I thought you Quizzmaster ABers would be the ones to ask this- I am looking to buy my fiance a new encyclopaedia and wondered- which are the best? Are they all American?  (I would much prefer paying more for a British publication.)   He does a lot of general knowledge crosswords etc and his current one is so out of date it is laughable.  Any reccomendations? Much appreciated.

There are encyclopedias covering almost any subject.
But I recommend
Whitakers Almanac
The A-Z of Everything by Trevor Montague........and the cruciverbalists Bible ...Chambers Dictionary.
Encylopaedia Britannica is the best in the world but it will cost you a bundle, it would be cheaper to buy him a second hand computer.

I know this cheeky using someone else's thread, but I have a problem with posting questions at the moment and wondered if anyone has done today's daily mail xword and what is the answer to 13a Lighter odds on, say, getting sick (5) r?i??

Fergol

Fergol 13a Spill
Thanks kosoro. I had cadaver for 1d which is obviously wrong. What is the right answer please?
1d Carcass
Cheers kosoro. Sorry again kilala.
shaneystar you are giving away all your secrets!!

  The Cambridge  Encyclopedia    is good not too costly and can get in paperback  maps and references published by cambridge university press  others as stated also good

out of selection i have on the shelf HUTCHINSONS can find answers in there But this book is 30yrs old may still be an edition.in print.

There is an excellent single-volume Britannica Concise Encyclopedia. Click here for the appropriate website. (Despite its name, the Britannica is, of course, now an American publication...but knowledge is knowledge, so what the hey!)

Thank you!  Although impressed by your answers, I am a tad disappointed too, I was holding on to the notion that none of you needed to look anything up, you just had super-human knowledge!   Oh well.  Real World 1: Kilala 0.
