Twelfth Edition * Junior Pears Encyclopaedia For the twelfth year in succession 'this schoolboy's Whitaker/ as The Times Literary Supplement called it has been taken apart inspected for faults, brought up-to-date, and reassembled. And as usual, the contributors have been assisted by the hundreds of young readers who each year respond to the editor's request for criticism and suggestions. A feature introduced in the last edition is a section devoted to some current controversy or important topic: last year it was on pollution, this year it is on the Common Market. In addition, and alongside the usual wealth of basic information on a score of subjects, there are: > an account of the latest world events > the latest sports records > full details of the latest developments in space travel, science, motor-cars and aircraft, railways and shipping 'Probably the best buy at £1.00 for any 12-year old who can use a reference book,' said Claire Tomalin in the New Statesman, echoing the reviewer in the Evening Standard who thought it 'the best concise reference book I have ever seen', and the one in the Times Educational Supplement who foresaw that it would 'go down as well as the last, a reward to an editor who canvasses his readers' opinions about what they want included.'
