Summary: Well worth it...
Review: I have seen other reviews which fault the complete National Geographic because it is presented as a set of page scans, rather than a text-based resource. This means that you can't do a full text search of the content, or copy and paste text to other documents. Still. I guess wordprocessing software was hard to come by in 1888.

My opinion? Great reference. Not too hard to read, considering the technology. The images are good. It prints ok. The search engine is good, and the navigation is quite usable. The program has only crashed on me once so far.

But get this DVD version. It saves swopping media all the time - and it takes much less space than 110 years worth of paper. (And do get the complete maps to go with it).

My only regret is this. I could not buy this item from Amazon.com, because they won't sell it outside of the USA for some reason. Instead I had to buy it from another Internet retailer (also based in the USA) with lesser customer service and lesser website usability.

Summary: Your Library Is Totally Incomplete Without This Gem !
Review: This is an absolute gem in literary and reference excellence. If you have any interest in things past, may it be history, geography, culture, society, whatever..., you name it, then this materpiece is for you. At 4 DVD or 31 CD's worth you are unlikely to get bored anytime within the next 10 years. And what great value for money !
