Surprised but well pleased
I was expecting the traditional yearbook that Britannica have always produced. This was a collection of great articles, written mainly by famous people, from pat editions of Britannica. A glimpse of the great events over 250 years since the first edition. Love it.

Book Of The Year
An absolutely stunning edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year. It's a real shame that this is the end of the print editions now, but it will be a treasured item in my book collection and it's nice to see that these are numbered editions. I haven't had chance to read it yet, but I can already see that the content will be very interesting and I look forward to reading it. The book was well packaged and arrived in good time.
