I've deliberately not bombarded you with quotations - how can you pick half a dozen from twenty thousand? If you would like to see some examples have a look at the [http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199668700.do OUP website] where you'll find a PDF giving some sample pages from the first chapter.
We've seen some other good reference books recently - you might like to have a look at [[Pocket World in Figures 2015 by The Economist]] and the inimitable [[Great Britain Concise Stamp Catalogue 2014 by Stanley Gibbons]]. You could shelve this alongside [[Chambers Biographical Dictionary by Chambers and Joan Bakewell]].

|comment=I have the 5th Edition, and I remember loving it when I got it 15 years ago. Flipping through it today, all the post it’s and haphazard bookmarks, was lovely. Or rather, it was lovely until I started wondering why Ruth Bader Ginsberg doesn’t make an appearance on the pages. Which led me to wonder whether the newest version might be a little more inclusive of women’s voices. I can’t find any reviews that draw this comparison between the editions and I am hopeful that you have a ready answer here.
Please and Thank you for your time and reviewing expertise!

|comment=Unfortunately I've 'loaned' my copy to someone and it's failed to come home again, so I can't comment on whether or not women are better represented. Hopefully, someone else reading this page will be able to tell us.
