This 1985 edition of the Webster Encyclopedia One Volume Edition, edited by Robert A. Rosenbaum, is a remarkable compendium of knowledge from the pre-internet era. Published at a time when encyclopedias were the primary source of general information, this tome stands as a testament to the enduring value of curated, authoritative reference works. Despite its age, the clean pages and secure binding make it a serviceable resource for researchers, students, and curious minds alike.
Beyond its practical utility, this volume holds historical significance as a product of its time. The absence of a dust jacket and the wear on the hardcover hint at the book’s well-loved status, possibly passed down through generations or shared among a community of knowledge-seekers. Collectors may appreciate it as a tangible link to an era when access to information was more limited, and encyclopedias were cherished gateways to the world’s collective wisdom.
