An encyclopedia (also spelled encyclopaedia or encyclopædia) is a comprehensive written compendium holding information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided into articles with one article on each subject covered. The articles on subjects in an encyclopedia are usually accessed alphabetically by article name and can be contained in one volume or many volumes, depending on the amount of material included.

Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect knowledge disseminated around the globe; to set forth its general system to the men with whom we live, and transmit it to those who will come after us, so that the work of preceding centuries will not become useless to the centuries to come; and so that our offspring, becoming better instructed, will at the same time become more virtuous and happy, and that we should not die without having rendered a service to the human race in the future years to come. — Diderot

Why do women in the encyclopedia and movies paint spots on their breasts?
Q. My sister's barbies do not have anything on their breasts. However, when I see women's breasts on T.V. or in the encyclopedia they have large spots painted on them. Is this for decency's sake to cover up part of them?

Where can you get a Columbia Encyclopedia Sixth Edition or fifth edition?
Q. I need a Columbia Encyclopedia Sixth Edition or fifth edtion. Do you know any stores in NY that have one? I checked Barnes and Noble, Borders and other places. Also, I checked on Amazon. I could get it from there but that would take time, so a store would be neat. Please respond! It would help alot! Thanks!!

A. Well, I've got a fifth edition, which I bought in a "used and rare" bookstore in Chicago. I think your best bet would be a good second-hand bookstore in New York. Try the Strand (see below). If they can't help, they may know someone who can.
