It's the ideal gift for do-it-youselfers, as well as students, teachers, travelers, engineers, maintenance and industrial personnel. It;s a great problem-solver and the perfect gift for the person who has everything.

I have been a user and fan of Pocket Ref since I was given one by a friend 15 years ago. At that time I was looking for something to give out and everyone gives away calendars, day timers, pens and mugs. I decided that the Pocket Ref was the perfect gift for my best prospects, customers and vendors. Since 1991
I have received many "thanks yous" and built much good will by sending out copies of your book. Of course, my company name and 800 number are imprinted on the book and people tend to hang on to the book a lot longer than a business card. In fact, I have had to send out replacements to those people foolish enough to leave their Pocket Reference out in plain view. But then again, it still has my name and number regardless of where it may have wandered.
I look forward to the introduction of the Spanish version.

2nd Edition Reviews
Marine
Corps Gazette, Lt.Col. David L. Shelton
"Even in the digital age, one often finds that locating a necessary
statistic, mathematical formula, standard conversion ratio, scientific
fact, or technical specification, with precision and right when
it's needed, can still be a challenge. This can be particularly
vexing for those who conduct technical work in remote or undeveloped
locations, or who may not have ready access to electronic research
capabilities or bulky reference publications....Pocket Ref..packs
a wealth of scientific technical, formulaic, and specification information
into a compact ...543 pages....must rank as one of the most complete
guides of its kind available anywhere....This pocket reference is
a gold mine of information and readily accessible detail for all
Marines, whatever the military occupational specialty...The book
is handy, precise, succinct, and worth many times its size and weight
in resource information. Pick it up and don't leave home without
it."

"All
your brains between 2 covers!"
The
Journal of Light Construction
...is
packed with bits of handy information....Throw this book in your
glove compartment. My bet is you'll find yourself reaching for it
for reasons you can't even think of right now.

"...pages
of tables, maps, formulas, constants and conversions in a 'fit in
your pocket'...book. Data on almost everything you can think of:
air, automotive, carpentry, electrical, math, hardware, geology,
plumbing, planets, weights and measures and much, much more. Everyone
should have at least one copy.
Real
Goods, Winter Solstice
"This
amazing book ...is like a set of encyclopedias in your shirt pocket!
Hundreds of tables, maps, and charts for: battery charging, lumber
sizes & grades, floor joint span limits, insulation R values,
periodic table, computer ASCII codes, IBM PC error codes, printer
control codes, electric wire size vs. load, resistor color codes,
US holidays, Morse code, phone area codes, time zones, sun &
planet data, earthquake scales, nail sizes, geometry formulas, currency
exchange rates, water friction losses, and a detailed index! Have
we said enough? Indispensable!"

"Pocket
Ref, a tiny but fact-packed, shirt-pocket
handbook of tables, maps, formulas, constants, and conversions.
The book included a wealth of information in the electrical, automotive,
physical science, mining, welding, and other fields...an excellent
reference...."
J.
Baldwin, Whole Earth Review
"It's
fun to challenge this shirt pocket-size all-purpose reference of
stuff you need to know now and the but don't know where to look.....How
about map scales, military rank and grade, geologic time scale,
trig functions, conversation tables...You need one of these. Me,
too. It's joined my library right next to the dictionary."

Welsh, Bill's Basics
"...This book contains information helpful to engineers,
handymen, students, and travelers. It includes a lot of material
that is of interest to amateurs. Its 18-page index enables you to
easily locate data...."

It's hard
to believe how so much information could be squeezed
into such a small package....and as a result Sequoia Publishing,
Inc. has printed one of the most valuable small reference books
we've been able to find....The scope of subjects is so diverse it
makes it difficult to select which one to check out first. ....This
is such a handy type of reference book you may find you'll need
more than one. If you leave it home, you may find that you could
have used another copy in the car, or at the mining site, or wherever...."
