  • This is 'the' reference work
Encyclopedic, extensive, deep, thorough... pretty much sum up this expanded version of the "Pocket Ref" I have used for years. If you're looking for an excellent offline reference that doesn't take up your whole bookshelf (if you even still have a bookshelf), this is a good place to start. Pros * Extensive listings across a broad range of disciplines (see 'Other thoughts' for some sample topics) * High-quality cover * Offers a table of contents and an index * 1,224 pages of tables, lists and a few photos and diagrams * The index alone is 42 pages long (though see cons) Cons * Currently unavailable as an e-book, which would have been far preferable for keyword searching * I would have preferred a still-larger index. Some index entries are not cross-listed with alternative but common terminology; for instance, "Stockpile Volume and Weight" doesn't have a index entry for "Angle of Repose", a common concern in the raw materials industry and a term used on that page. I don't need a concordance, but a bit deeper coverage here would have been nice * Some tables do not have information that was official and available as of this printing (2011); for instance, the periodic table of elements is current as of 2004 (and thus misses Dubnium [Db 105] and heavier) -- though to the authors' credit, elements at least up through Copernicum [Cn 112] are listed in a nearby table Other thoughts This enormous storehouse of information seems best suited for librophiles and offline reference. A few random topics, to indicate the depth of coverage: Wire classes and insulation Box nails and brads Car rental toll-free numbers, worldwide First aid Right triangle formulas Worldwide phone area codes and country codes Gold, silver and diamond classification Capacities of large tanks and cylinders Apparent dip Knots (with photos) Water discharge through 100 feet of hose Just... on and on. It's pretty amazing. ... show more

  • More Information Than You Could Ever Use
This is a great collection of information of a wide variety. I would think it would be most useful to engineers, but there is plenty that others may also find useful. A quick flip through the book showed me endless numbers concerning metal screws, nuts, bolts, wire, sheet metal, and other stuff related to industry, mechanics, engineering, and so on. The adhesive powers of different glues; equations for calculating surface area and other interesting stuff. I was interested in the section on Morse code, the Beaufort wind scale, Braille, American Sign Language letters, first aid, and the so-called 'ten-codes' used by many police departments. It seems to me that no one in the world would find it *all* interesting; but it also seems that there's something in there for everyone. ... show more

  • Good book for your physical library.
Seller provided a mint condition book with nothing observably wrong with it. The print inside and out were great as well. I got this because it is now a companion to the Pocket Ref I have owned for quite sometime. Get both sizes. If you get the softback invest in clear laminating paper and protect it right away. ... show more

  • Very good overall
Not the most accurate or relevant information, but beats having nothing. Very good if internet or power goes out. Otherwise, search engines will give you a more diverse selection of information. One of my “prepping” books.
