Summary: The best reference guide on the Craft I've found so far.
Comment: I have owned this one for about 6-7 years, since before I was a mason and I still find it to be the best masonic reference that I know of. Waite writes from the viewpoint of one who is at heart, a Christian Mystic or a theosopher in the tradition of Pasqually, Willermoz or Saint-Martin. While I used to find his victorian verbiosity apalling, I have grown accustomed to it over the years. Some of the information about various Rites and degrees is incomplete, and I disagree with some of the conclusions the author came to, but this is a great book. I've had people I trust tell me there are better reference works on masonry out there, but I haven't found them yet.

Summary: This book is out of date
Comment: I think that just listing this book with its now inappropriate title, "The *New* Encyclopedia of Freemasonry", and saying it was published in 1994 misleads a lot of people even if you throw in the word "reprint". If you want to do historic research on what people thought in the early 1900s, it's fine. But there has been a lot of research since then. If you want a good up to date Masonic Enclopedia, get Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia which was extensively revised in 1995.

Summary: Good Starter Book
Comment: There are a few things every mason must have and he should seek these as soon as possible, or maybe his lodge will give them to him when he become a mason. First: he should have a copy of the great "White Light," The HOLY BIBLE; then he should also have Book of Constitions (his Grand Lodge Bylaws), a copy of the "work" (manual of freemasonry or Grand Lodge issued key), bylaws of his own lodge, and a dictionary. With these basics we begin our journey into masonry and my first recomendation is The Builders next this Encyclopedia
