I’m always drawn to these, but find myself hitting ‘google’ before reaching for the ref books. I realize that sometimes the internet isn’t easily accessible, but for most people, including myself, my shop is at my house. I can usually google something faster than find a book and look it up.

is this a good supplement to the venerable Pocket Ref? or is it just a quick reference that duplicates that information.

Ted,

If you click on the Reid Supply Company link at the bottom of the post, and then click on “Refresh Product Data” button that appears, you can order the book from them. I haven’t found it anywhere else in the US.

What the heck, I couldn’t find this book on amazon or barnes and noble? Looks like a nice book, too bad you can’t buy it anywhere.

How does this compare to the Machinery’s Handbook? Looks like probably a lighter version, and about 1/4 the cost.

looks like a nice reference! If you are looking for a good engineering reference check out Marks’ Standard Handbook. It is pretty much every text book engineers have ever and could ever use condensed into one nice book. It is definitely not designed for the shop enviorment. But if you need a quick reference for tap sizes, stainless steel properties, and the math behind a turbocharger all in one, check it out. I have one on my desk, I rarely need it, but it is there if I do.
