Federal Street Press' New Explorer series is an inexpensive line of basic reference texts "created in cooperation with the editors of Merriam-Webster." The series includes a College Dictionary , Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms , and this Desk Encyclopedia . These are printed on inexpensive paper without use of color, and all have fewer entries than their Merriam-Webster counterparts. The 17,500 cross- referenced articles are illustrated with 1,000 line drawings, maps, and b&w photographs. More difficult words have pronunciation. Suitable for high school, ESL, poor-of-pocket college students. Its humble size and weight make it perfect for the weak of arm. The Encyclopedia is quite up to date, editorial work having been completed in May 2003. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
