encyclopedia you *never* stop off and read about something else that has caught your eye?
No. Sometimes I do exactly.
But I don't want it forced upon me. I do *not* want to use a work that gives cross references like "See also: something on page 187 or 188, but we're not saying which"
Its not as if we don't have "Random Page" feature for browsing.
That's the huge joy of reference works!
Is *a* huge joy of reference works. Accurate and efficient cross-referencing is also a huge joy of well organised reference works.
