If you are looking for an authoritative encyclopaedia, they don't come much better than Britannica. Their tagline is 'the knowledge you need from the source you trust'. I wonder if they are playing up on fears about Wikipedia's reliability? :wink: Well, you can judge the quality for yourself as there is a free trial here and if you like it, you can buy it at Handango here.
