5.0 out of 5 stars Britannica Concise versus Columbia Encyclopedia, 2 Jun 2004

By	Billy Budd "an_encyclopedias_addict" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia (Textbook Binding)

I think both books are outstanding, and more complementary than rivals. In fact, I use both. Nevertheless, there are some differences (but both are made in USA, and very USA focused).
Columbia’s big dimensions and weight (8.9 pounds/4 kg) make almost necessary to read it on a desk. Britannica Concise (BCE) is 6.7 pounds/3 kg and smaller.
Both utilize an extremely small font size. Columbia contains 6.5 million words. BCE “only” 2.6.
Britannica C has over 2000 photographs, maps, tables, drawings, color illustrations; nations flags ... In Columbia, illustrations are sparse, limited to about 500 black-and-white line drawings.
Columbia’s 6th edition stopped in 1999. BCE is of April 2003 and is edited every year in spring, but I don’t know if they are going to update it or not.
Britannica Concise has articles like Super Bowl, Viagra, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Big Stick Policy, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day ... that don’t exist in Columbia.
Quantity does not always mean Quality. B Concise seems to be more shrewd, witty and, by the way, less subjective.
As I said before, both books are outstanding and complementary.
