I like that book enough to have a copies at home, at work, and in my truck. I also keep it's offshoot, Handyman Pocket Ref, in my toolbelt. -Blast


I have the older 2nd ed. of the Pocket Ref and also the Handyman Ref. -- they come in handy in the construction industry and for home projects. I also have the Canadian Wood Council Span Book for designing structures. All good technologists/architects should have this at their side. BTW, the link is to the Americanized version of the book with both American/Canadian tree species instead of just Canadian.

It sits right beside my pocket sized dictionary and Roget's pocket thesaurus and the other staple = Collins Gem SAS Survival Guide blush

And since my close vision isn't what it used to be, I've got a credit card Fresnel lens lodged between the pages.
