Pocket Ref Paperback – 1 Sept. 2010

This little (or not so little, yet still pocket sized, just) 'Pocket Ref' book has just SO much info in I'm staggered. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a 'go-to' quick look-up for anything and everything. Wondering how many mpg your car does? Or What to do if your friend has a alcohol poisoning? This book is so wide in it's spectrum of helpful, useful, knowledge, it's like asking Yoda! I gave it a 5 out of 5 because I always wanted to know so much that's contained in this book, and now I've found it! The only way to get more stuff into such a small compact space would be to throw it on a microchip. Yeah sure, technology is great, but when you're smart phone battery runs down, 'Pocket ref' will be there, right in your pocket, it WON'T let you down!

amazing little book crammed full of obscenely detailed facts. You need good eyes to see the small print but there is always a compromise! You will be amazed at how addictive it is. Once you have surprised yourself with one fact, it is almost impossible to not search out for more and the search is never long as this little giant is bursting with geektastic information.

Was binge watching mythbusters where they were talking about this book and i had to get one. This will save your life.

The typeface is, undrestandably, a bit on the small side. Otherwise, a bit of a goldmine of information. I've given 3 or 4 away as wee presents to mates of mine.

Amazing reference book full of all sorts; from the angle of a conveyor belt to transport ash without rolling back or to formula to calculate how much wire is on a spool.However awful shame there isn't a metric version as this ref. has everything in feet & inches and pounds (AKA Freedom units)

I love fact & reference books & this pocket-sized & quite thick book is absolutely packed with pretty much any kind of information you could possibly ever need!It's American so, understandably, it is somewhat Americanised but there is still a huge amount of information that anyone the world over can make use of.The internet may not always be accessible, which is where this book becomes invaluable! :)

I can't believe I had never heard of this before, thanks Mythbusters.It covers everything you need to know about measurement and conversions.

Fabulous service and book , tactile , interesting, brilliant .Thankyou very much 😊
