I prefer the World Book all around (continuous revision, better layout,
more attractive illustrations, broader coverage), but the Compton's IS an
easier read for some of our students. Since you have a 2002 World Book, I
would go for the Compton's this time, and perhaps make the '96 World Book
one that would circulate.
