Thomas J. GloverPocket Ref

Great little pocket reference. Lots of good information there and lots of not so interesting information.

Most people would say that something like this has no place in today's instant search world, but I completely disagree. Check out the Table of Contents page; this thing is loaded with tons of basic information, as well as every kind of scientific or mathematical reference or formula you'll likely ever need. A family member went to school for engineering, this was the first thing I got him. Doing work around the house and need to figure out ceiling fan clearance or strength of materials? Everything you need is right here. If you do any kind of scientific, mathematical, engineering, carpentry, landscaping, or so many other things, you can't go wrong having this. You also can't beat the price!

Best book a DIY person could have. Best book a professional should have.

The amount of information packed into this is simply amazing. Everything from trademarks, first aid, automotive, welding, physics, calendars, maps, weather, geology, and countless other topics are all covered in this tiny little book(See picture of table of contents)! I saw this on an episode of (I believe) Modern Rogue on youtube and I asked for one from my mother for Christmas and at the same time I bought one for my dad, and then she also bought one for her husband, who then bought one for each of his two sons. Everyone I have showed this book to has gotten one either for themselves or someone else and it is easy to see why. Despite all the contained information being stuff you could fairly easily google, something about having it all in this one little book is totally enthralling and even though I probably would never actually need to use it, I still absolutely love having it. One thing I would recommend if you are getting it for someone whose vision isn't perfect, you may want to also buy something to make it easier to read, in my case I got a handful of these bookmarks that also function as a magnifying glass to give to my dad with his copy of the book.Cannot recommend this highly enough.

fun item, inexpensive reference guide. Very wide range of information. enjoyable read, lots of useful and some not so useful information but handy. Print is very small so those with challenged near vision will need magnification.

Great book of reference for many subjects. This book covers so many topics you are bound to find what you are looking for. First aid, electrical info, carpentry. Knot tying, metals and much more. I use this one a lot.

This is a must have everyone. Don't care how young or old you are. It's an amazing gift for ANY human being. I promise. ^_^

Lots of information is packed into such a small book.
