Book Reviews of Benet's Reader's Encyclopedia: Fourth Edition

Book Review: Where's Brodsky?
Summary: 5 Stars

The best bedside reader's companion. You'll find yourself consulting it daily. But the Fourth Edition seems to have more mistakes than the Third. Example: There's no entry for Nobel Prize winning poet Joseph Brodsky, despite the fact that his name is all-capped (meaning there is an entry) elsewhere (see the entry for Anna Akhmatova). Also, I've found some sloppy typos. Example: the header on Page 18 ("Askyonov" should be "Aksyonov") Nevertheless, a treasure, either for browsing or for reference.
