Winston's Encyclopedia, published under a variety of names and by different publishers and editors, was an encyclopedia set published in the early 20th century. Originally titled Winston's Encyclopedia: A Compendium of Information for Home, School and Office, the set was first published by the John C. Winston Company, known mainly for their dictionaries. In 1912 the set was expanded from 8 to 10 volumes and retitled Winston's cumulative loose-leaf encyclopedia. As the name suggests, it was kept up to date by a series of loose-leaf supplements.
