  10,000 entries have been carefully chosen to give as much information as possible in the best value format, with a wide range of subjects including science, technology, sport, music, politics and history. This year over 1000 entries have been rewritten to take account of changes in Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia among other things. An important feature of this encyclopedia is the double-page spreads which use diagrams, line drawings and linking text to explain topics such as energy, space, pollution and flight.
