“An idiosyncratic collection of information, fascinating to skim through. Clearly relevant to those in the US but do you want to know the rank insignia for the US armed forces and do you prefer to work in lbs and ft2 rather than using metric values? Still there is information on CPR, treating burns, different types of knots and the escape velocity of Mercury.
A British version, with metric values, would be really worth having but editing a European edition would be a massive task.”
“If you want to know anything related to engineering, the PocketRef has it. It really is the Ref. I wish I could buy the desk version too (DeskRef) which only seems available in the US at the moment.”
“Handy little book, and great addition to my emergency bag. A little bit America-centric in some places, but the vast majority of the information contained within is applicable anywhere. Really pleased with it.”
