I bought all three volumes at the same time (Yes, I am THAT keen!) and what a revelation they are. Charles Platts writing style is extremely lucid, and these encyclopaedias are well worth the investment.Just to mention: Charles Platt encourages personal interaction, supplying an email address in aid to help, advise and just say "Hello" (which is a bit like registering) - how many technical authors encourage that!
