Encyclopedia salesmen have traditionally been a blight on humanity.  Gordon
Dickson, author of the "Final Encyclopedia" is no exception.  Here's a book
of encyclopedic length, printed in 7 point font, with as much plot, development,
and satisfaction as a mediocre encyclopedia.  It shows interesting promise at
the start, but collapses worse than the worst of recent Heinlein novels.  In
short, a real loser of a book.

I highly disrecommend it.
