Hold The World
I'm large enough to hold the world
Yet I can sit upon a shelf
But most peculiar is the truth
That I contain myself


What am I?

Problem Solution
Almost everyone gave some sort of reference book/material as an answer. The question is--what kind of reference book fits?

The most common incorrect answers were map words, like roadmap, atlas, globe. These all fit the first part of the riddle, but not the last.

What kind of book contains the world, and itself?

a dictionary, or an encyclopedia
