Yes, another friend has pointed out the mistake: WORD instead of WORLD. But this is just a mockup and I've alerted the Shanghai editor. I think we'll be fine with the actual volumes!
Karen, I'm so pleased to hear that the Chinese translation of the encyclopedia will soon appear. I'm sad that Bill is not here to see it happen, but dozens of contributors to the volumes, including me, will applaud the event. Last year UC Press signed an agreement with the University of Peking (that's how they spell it) to publish a Chinese edition of my book The Adventures of Ibn Battuta. I certainly hope the project takes less than a decade to complete!
Congratulations! An incredible achievement. I confess to having heard about this from a friend in China, who noted that while the Chinese title translates as World History, the English is for a six-volume tome on etymology.
