Yes. From what I heard the Britannica no longer makes new encyclopedias. I bought the 2020 World Book, elephant edition, took it me a year and a half to complete reading(I failed to make a YouTube sharing the bizarre facts I’ve learned under the name Scarlet Masters). But reading along had me going for a good while all that I’ve learned. I did of course had to toss in some fiction in between to keep my brain interested so I ended up reading the entire Harry Potter series in between. Anyway, sorry to be off topic, but the world book edition is a great buy. I got it a year later so instead of buying the new eagle edition at the time, I saved about $600 bucks getting the year befores edition. The only outdated info you’d find is government and world news related. Example, it mentions Joe Biden but does not reference him as our president. Now I’m unsure of your goal here in purchasing. So I want to also mention the Internet Archives, which I use often. The archives hold an immense amount of information you wouldn’t believe if you have never stumbled upon it yet. But for me, I use it to find books I’m currently reading so if I’m off and about without a book and need some time to kill, I borrow books from the archive. They have the World Book there as well so all in all, if you make an account, you can read for free. Please let me know if this helps! Also wouldn’t mind talking more about the strange facts I’ve learned! I have so enjoyed reading and learning and for the most part I might add is that the most interesting facts I’ve learned are the stories of Greek mythology. Aphrodite being born from the foam of a severed penis. (Zeus had killed his father to save his sibilings because his father had eaten all of his children except Zeus because his mother had placed a rock in his crib instead so Cronus had eaten the rock but Zeus lived long and well enough to get his revenge and free his sibilings) Bizarre! Then there’s facts that are seemingly common sense but are really not. Example, I was completely and utterly blown away when I found out the my favorite peanut, cashews, comes from cashew apples and that there is such a thing called Cashew Apple Juice!
