The true measure of an encyclopedia's worth must be how useful it is to the general reader at whom it is aimed, not to the expert. Any prospective reader consulting the "Webster's New World Encyclopedia" is therefore asked to look, not only at a subject they are familiar with but also at a topic about which they know little or nothing. Does the entry inform? Does it include up-to-date facts and figures? Is it accurate? Does it provide a useful introduction to the subject? Is it easy to understand? If relevant, is there a helpful illustration? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then the encyclopedia can be judged a success. This 1st editon of "Webster's New World Encyclopedia" has been written, edited, and illustrated with these aims in mind. 20110521. Encyclopedias and dictionaries. Dictionaries. Dictionary.
