Collier’s is a well-reputed work with coverage
reflecting secondary-school and college curricula. Its style is concise and readable. Most of the articles are signed, many by worldrenowned scholars. Collier’s is strongest in its treatment of the arts and humanities, social sciences, and botany. Major biographies receive lengthy treatment; geography articles are attractively presented and receive a high percentage of the set’s space. Accompanying illustrations, wellreproduced, include effective graphics, photographs, diagrams, and drawings.
