What they said of previous editions of the World Guide:

"More thought-provoking than standard reference works, and cheaper than hours spent surfing the net, it would be a worthwhile addition to any teachers' library."
ELT Journal

British Library Association: 'Outstanding Work of Reference' in the Electronic Category (previous edition)

"The layout is user-friendly, the text is clear and clean, and - most important of all - one can quote the statistics with confidence... an indispensable tool for my work."
