There have been numerous versions of the Pocket Reference type books, and
all of 'em contain such an extensive amount of info, that they're just too
good to pass up if you have an interest in their particular contents.

They're a lot like having an Audel's series worth of info in a pocket-sized
book.

I've seen, and have a few titles, for electronics, the NEC/wiring info,
Computers, Construction/carpentry and many other topics.

While checking out at my local Ace Hardware, I noticed a little book that
is
black and a little bigger than 3" x 5". It is called "POCKET REF" and is
by
Thomas J. Glover. It was $12.98.

In it, there are zillions of facts, information, knots, formulas, weights,
welding, symbols, taps and dies, squares cubes and roots, rope,
metallurgy,
conversion charts, constants, and everything from A to Z. Well, from
abrasives to wounds, abdominal.

I snatched one for personal references, and for when someone here asks a
question, and I want to appear bigger and smarter than I am in person.

It has a trig section that covers the Pythagorean theorem question posed
not
long ago, along with working with triangles other than right triangles.

Absolutely tons of information for those of us whose minds are already so
full we can't keep up with our own cell phone numbers. Or car keys.

If you see one, pause and take a look. There is another that deals with
welding and metal, and I would like to find it, but I forget its name
right
now. A pocket size book. If you know the name, please post it.

Steve
