I found this book to be full of useful information.  It is also written very well to be used as a reference book as it quickly lets you find answers to your questions.  It covers such a broad spectrum of concerns and has many new and useful ideas.  I am very pleased to add this to my library!

This book has been around in prior editions for years, and it's still my favorite reference to this day. I love the month by month star charts, and you can find anything you're searching for (info on constellations, etc.) if you know where to look.

It's a great read for beginners and amateurs alike, and I've always found myself re-reading it every now and then "just because." Otherwise, I love having it easily accessible for the charts. I'm not sure what else the so-so reviews could really be looking for, because this book seems to have it all.

Great reference book, I use it every day. I even sent a copy to my sister - my opposition in the game Words with Friends

This is a great reference.  I am a food scientist and it had much basic and some exotic information that I will use frequently.  New, valuable information for someone who thought that they were well informed!  Definitely a find for my library.

This is a great reference book.  Before I had it a week, I had solved some mysteries about pieces and parts of stuff...and where to buy them, and what they looked like!  Of course, sometimes it's fun to just graze through the book and find all sorts of items you didn't know existed. If you're into home repair, or home improvement, this gem is a great addition to your how-to collection.

Whether you work with a technical team outside of your company, on a technical team within your company or manage a technical team, this is an excellent reference on the types of folks you will encounter. If there is one piece of information you are able to draw from this book, it's another tool you can add to your work tool box. I work on a technical team, so I found the book very helpful with the types of people I work with on a daily basis. Not only on my team, but the resources that I work with in the field.

Nice to have a reference that shows and tells...having left the modeling hobby for +20 years, this has been a great help in my becoming reacquainted with the modern tools of the trade.  Many useful photo's and explanations that I wish I had had years ago.

By a stroke of luck, I found, through one of Amazon's sellers, a clean used copy with just a few minor dings.  In a short time, this volume has proved to be a fabulous reference.  The entries are long enough to provide context and biblical citations, but not so long as to get bogged down with TMI.  And there are topics I never would have thought to follow up on, which I now can, right within this volume.  Adele Berlin and her staff have done such an excellent job of creating a single, go-to reference for most purposes.  Although I am a seminary graduate (and know where to go for further study), I'm sure any intelligent reader can follow these entries and gain deeper insight - and relevant cites.  Hope this stays in print (with updated versions) for a long time!

This book is a wonderful reference on stones and crystals, especially when used in conjunction with Melody's "Love Is In The Earth".  I gain a better understanding of all the facets of my various stones and crystals.
Good color photos, helpful for identification.  If you like Melody's book, you will want "The Book of Stones: Who They Are and What They Teach" as well!

This has the info that you need at your fingertips when doing minor maintenance or considering upgrades.  I use this a lot more than I use either the Service Manual or the Parts Manual!  It also makes a good place to collate those hundreds of sticky notes (in Brains' chicken tracks) that I've collected over the years.  I, for one, am grateful to the Haynes folks for the work they've done, even though there seems to have been a mix-up in communications -- they printed several thousand copies, rather than the 100 which we requested.  However, I'm confident that they'll be able to keep the extra copies locked up until we need them.

In your new position with International Rescue, whether in the field or in the hangar, your familiarity with the contents of this book will be vital, as well as giving you some of the rich history of the organization.
