What
the Critics Say
- "...university and college libraries should consider adding the
complete set to their reference collections. This is a treasure trove"-American
Reference Books Annual
- "Encyclopedia USA is a commendable project"-Reference
Services Review
- "One just doesn't find articles on adult book stores or the big
band era or the Autobiography of Malcolm X or automation in the Dictionary
of American History... But Encyclopedia USA has those and more... Its value
is in the people, things, events, and modern cultural phenomena (e.g.,
the article on the Blondie cartoon strip) that the Dictionary of American
Biography and the Dictionary of American History overlook."-Wilson
Library Bulletin
About the Index
- "Librarians that already have [USA] will not want to decrease
the value of their acquisition and cheat their users by skipping this helpful
index."-American Reference Books Annual
More Valuable, Necessary Than Ever!
- For busy librarians, patrons, students, faculty researchers.
- Cost efficient because USA is consulted so heavily.
- The single source needed by non-US libraries.
- Indexes open vast research avenues.
- Just $1,477.00 for Vols. 1-22, Supplements 1-3, plus Index Vols. 1-2
then only $143.00 each budget year thereafter

What the Users Say
"The students use it a lot... they enjoy coming to this because they
can pick it up and get their background information... get them started
on their who, what, when and where information... they can pull it out and
stand there and easily look at it and find what they're looking for... it's
so accessible... it is in great demand."-Neatha Cagle, Head of Reference,
Lon Morris College Library
