The World of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" was an illustrated guide to the Wheel of Time, published in 1997, featuring information from the books released at that point (up until A Crown of Swords), as well as other information not covered in the main series. The copy is written, and it should be read, from the point of view of a person from the world of the Wheel of Time, possibly a historian of the time when Rand al'Thor lived.
Because of the first edition of the book and its cover being predominantly white, the encyclopedia began being called "the Big White Book" by some, and this title stuck for a long while, even when the book was released in a different edition with a different cover.
The encyclopedia is mainly divided in five big sections. The text is considered mostly canon, except for where it directly contradicts information from the main series.
