5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of information
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This is a great little book and well worth space in an EDC. It's mostly a novelty but I *have* used it before as intended. Great for a genuine reference or just to read when you're bored. Print is small, recommend a magnifier or readers
5.0 out of 5 stars Great to have in the event the internet goes down
Invaluable source of information if the internet goes down. Highly recommend
5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!
Excellent! I bought a whole stack to give as a Christmas present.
5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional little book
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars fun item, inexpensive reference guide
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable reference
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!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great pocket reference
Great little pocket reference. Lots of good information there and lots of not so interesting information.
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than internet
Everyone should have this

Como una Wikipedia de bolsillo
Casi mil páginas de tablas, información útil y datos sobre todo de ingeniería y cultura general. Desde tamaños de cable de cobre hasta cómo identificar las nubes de tormenta.Hay un punto a tener en cuenta y es que muchas de las tablas están en medidas imperiales. Otras incluyen los datos en el Sistema Internacional. En todo caso es un libro estadounidense y así es como se ha escrito.Un manual curioso para llevar en la mochila o como guía de referencia si no tienes acceso a internet.**Nota: Esta es mi valoración personal por un producto adquirido con mi dinero. Ante el aluvión de reseñas patrocinadas en Bolo, añadiré esta nota en cada una de las mías, ya que considero que tiene más valor conocer la opinión de un cliente real que un "reviewer profesional".

Genuine copy, great book
I bought used and got an original pocket ref that fits in any pocket, not a Xerox copy.Of course, everything is in freedom units. But the content is great. The copy I got is the second edition. It is very reliable. I have heard that newer editions have some errors. But I checked my copy and the errors aren't there.
Summa mirabilis
Volumetto pressoche' inutile, come sapevo gia', ma affascinante nella sua ingenuita' e perfetto esempio di un'impostazione culturale in via di estinzione.
Most useful little black book of vast knowledge you’ll ever read.
Was binge watching mythbusters where they were talking about this book and i had to get one. This will save your life.
