Comments That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:03, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * "It was edited by Gary Westfahl. The work consists" merge, "It was edited by Gary Westfahl and consists"
 * "the last volume" third.
 * "considered defining for the two relevant genres" which two?
 * "reviewers finding this to be a commendable" this? Do you mean "the encyclopedia" perhaps?
 * "overpriced" you didn't even mention how expensive it was.
 * "The scope of the work..." The scope of The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy....
 * "written by over a hundred different" more than.
 * "expected" who was doing the "expectation"?
 * "its release, already in 2005" why "already"?
 * "He finds" -> He found.
 * "observes" observed. Be consistent with tense.  Fix this throughout.
 * "reviewing this work" re-assert the name of the "work".
 * "noted that it is too limited" well, noted seems definitive. I would say that's subjective so perhaps " suggested that it....
 * "He nonetheless concludes..." followed by "He concludes that ..." how many times can he "conclude"??
 * "He observed that due to trying to cover both science fiction" as a result of rather than due to.
 * "quite impressive", also he finds`" although would make more sense than also.
 * "book is overpriced (at $349.95) and" ah, one review said it was over-priced? Is that really grounds for it to be considered, in general, over-priced?
 * "introduce topics - themes, works" en-dash.
 * "Achebe) - that seem" ditto.
 * "entries.[3][5][2][1]" order.
 * "List of authors and topics" describe this ext link in more detail.


 * @The Rambling Man Thank you for the review. Fixed, mostly. See below for the exceptions/comments:
 * Re: ""written by over a hundred different" more than." - hmmm, or maybe less than a hundred? See https://www.sfsite.com/gary/ww-themes01.htm . Maybe change to dozens?
 * Re: "expected" who was doing the "expectation"? - reviewers, but it seems common sense to me (not editorializing).
 * Re: "book is overpriced (at $349.95) and" ah, one review said it was over-priced? Is that really grounds for it to be considered, in general, over-priced? the previous reviewer (O'Sullivan) also commented on this, as quoted ("hefty price").

 * Okay, change the "over a hundred" to dozens, and it's all good. Nothing to stop me promoting now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 20:10, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
