Slight colour leakage from the red covers onto the edges of the last few pages, otherwise contents clean and bright. This satire is a humorous and exaggerated marketing pamphlet for a fictional encyclopedic publication, referred to as the Insidecompletuar Britanniaware. Its topic revolves around the absurdity of the encyclopedic genre and the commercialization of knowledge during a time when reference works were becoming increasingly popular. The content of the book consists of a series of playful testimonials, quirky advertisements, and mock essays that elaborate on the benefits of owning the encyclopedic set. It includes comedic claims about the various uses of the volumesranging from serving as ballast for ships to providing excellent insulation against earthquakes. The whimsical and farcical tone of the writing showcases a variety of subjects and contributors, satirizing the nature of journalism, literature, and the commercialization of intellectual pursuits in a lively and entertaining manner. Through its humorous exaggeration, "Wisdom while you wait" critiques the consumerist culture surrounding education and knowledge dissemination in the early 20th century.
