There are typos on almost every other page.
I purchased it just to know recent GK and not for any study. It is not substitute for a good reference/periodicals used for studying for competitive exams.

Although, colored pictures are good considering the price one pays.

The CD is waste, I do not recommend to install its s/w on your PC at all. It is waste of disk-space and not much knowledge to quickly refer to. Even its s/w browser lacks many necessary features like proper search.

Otherwise, ...

Let me say, reviews are really not needed for this one because its already doing well in the market since many years.This is one of the best book for GK and can be a guide to many competitive exams.I have been reading it from past four years. It covers everything. Just go for it

the book is quite good in its content. but it is quite costly. you can easily get it in 170-180 Rs in the market. also much cheaper available at Amazon.

book is not as good as i expected. its has too much textbook stuff and less on current affairs. The quantity is just a brain wash , as most of the data was not much relevant to me. i bought this book to get an idea about current affairs for the MBA exams and honestly i did not work for me. Meanwhile flipkart delivery was crisp and clean

If you want to increase your General Knowledge then this is the book to go for ! It is a little bit extensive but the content is worth reading and worth a buy. The ads are somewhat page wasting and its sometimes awkward to read. The content on the other hand is top notch and is easy to understand !

The software CD is not that good and the articles in the CD are too small to read and doesn't provide the full version of the encyclopedia

Concluding that if you want to increase your knowledge ...
