With 50,000 entries and 6,600,000 words, the latest version of The Columbia Encyclopedia is lavish testimony to the range of contemporary information. For reasons suggested under listings for computer and book, this could be the last heroic project of the sort; future encyclopedias likely will be electronic data bases that can be emended instantly and variously accessed. For now, The Columbia Encyclopedia deserves a giant place in a reader's heart and on a sturdy study table.
