Published in 1952, The Columbia Lippincott Gazetteer of the World has been the definitive encyclopedia of places -- unmatched in scope, detail, authority, and usefulness. Even today, weathered copies still serve librarians as a standard source of essential information.

The world has changed dramatically, of course, since the first appearance of The Gazetteer. There are thousands of new places -- from small suburban towns to teeming new nations. There are new names for old places. New political systems in Europe, Africa, and Asia, as old empires collapse and new powers emerge.
After four years of research, revision, and rewriting, the new edition of The Gazetteer is ready to serve a new generation -- completely revised and updated, with 25,000 entries new to this edition, and a total of 165,000 entries.
