I found the Pocket Ref 4th Edition - paperback version - on Amazon and it's 864 pages. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the book?

The 2nd Edition is shown as being a bit smaller at 768 pages.

Doh! Answered my own question...

Dimensions: 3.2" x 5.4" x 0.9"

Here's a page with a really good description...

Not really sure, mine is the older 1st ed. The link is to the newer version. I suspect the e has something to do with the Iphone app of the book.

Finally got that Pocket Ref and the mini SAS books (ordered with other things that weren't in stock). What great little books! I am in geek heaven, I actually like reading numbers and facts and crap. And the SAS book, though tiny, is quite impressively done, much more than I expected (I certainly didn't expect glossy color pages). The ones I got are dated 2010 and 2011 editions.

Thanks for the recs, very nice.

I purchased a copy of the EMS Field Guide from Informed guides.

http://store.informedguides.com/medical/ems-field-guider-bls-versiontm.html

I find it to be quite detailed and concise. Also, the pages are waterproof (Tyvek maybe?) and allow you to make notations with a sharpie that can be wiped off later.

Have been waiting for the backlog to clear from the Canada Post strike before ordering the Pet Emergency and NIMS field guides.
