Product Information
First published as the Pears Shilling Cyclopaedia in 1897 by Queen Victoria's famous soap-makers to celebrate her golden jubilee, this treasured reference compendium condenses a world of information into one concise volume. Pears is still the only book of its kind to be fully revised and updated annually by a dedicated team of experts, making it the favourite encyclopaedia, crossword lifesaver and quizzing Bible for thousands, year after year. The quintessentially British almanac, Pears' Cyclopaedia continues to inform and intrigue generations of readers with its unique mix of solid facts and fascinating gems. Now in its 126th year, this ultimate volume offers clear and concise information on such wide-ranging subjects as global events, Norse mythology and modern cinema. Updated regularly by editor Chris Cook and his panel of experts, this handy and beautiful edition includes new entries for all major events from 2017-18 and all the traditional favourites - from public figures and celebrities, through medical matters and classical mythology, to a gazetteer of the British Isles and the latest tax advice. This is a world of knowledge rolled into one must-have volume - the Swiss army knife of reference books.Product Identifiers

Disappointed
Bought this to update from my 2004 issue. Very disappointed with the gazetteer section. Find myself using the old one for all but the more up to date infoVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Last of the line
As always, Pears Cyclopedia is superb, and so it is very sad to see that the internet has 'killed off' such an iconic publication after 120 years. Therefore the final edition is to be cherished.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A Blast From the past !!!
Had this book 60 years ago when just a kid. Get one now because this is the last of a book everyone should have and sit down to browse when their iPads are charging. Great to have spotted it for sale. I will treasure this although my kids will not appreciate itVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
