Simply the Reference Standard

After purchasing and being very happy with the Oppo DV-983H dvd player, I decided to wait for them to introduce their Blu-ray player. I turned down the early adoption program allowing them to shake out the glitches. Even though this is my first Blu-ray player, it isn't the first I've seen in action. This machine loads twice as fast and upconverts standard-def far better than anything produced at any cost. Considering first generation Blu-ray players cost more in their day, I had no problem spending the money for a truly universal ( It plays everything) machine of excellent quality. I just wish there was a way to make Blu-ray players region free ( but that's big brother for you).

A classic collection of statistical information and tables. Mine is well-worn and is usually the go-to reference even before trying Google. Several technical reports I've written reference this work in the footnotes.

I came across this little book years ago when I was still in school and though dated, the information is the classic standard for research papers.  Only 26 pages, it's a great starter and reference to go into the backpack.  I have the rest of the series, also sadly out of print which doesn't even seem to be taught any more in school.  Grammar, Advanced Grammar, Diagramming Sentences, and Poetry.

Stedman's "Radiology and Oncology Words" is a superb reference for the radiology transcriptionist.  Having been a full-time in-house imaging transcriptionist for years now, I can vouch for the  comprehensiveness of this fine volume.  I use many references in imaging,  including "Radiology Word Book" by T. Indora and S. Pitman's  "Radiology Imaging Words and Phrases," but I would have to say  that Stedman's is the volume in which the puzzled anatomical reference,  interventional instrument, or medical mnemonic I'm searching for is usually  found.  Additionally, I have found Stedman's oncology section invaluable;  the above-mentioned references are lacking in this very important  field.
The only drawback I can think of regarding this fine reference is  that this edition is July 1995.  A lot of new medical equipment/terms have  evolved since that time.  Still, when compared to the aforementioned  references described above, Stedman's "Radiology" is, in my  estimation, tops.  I highly recommend it.

This series of three books contain the most precise information in a usable form for the amateur that I have seen. A classic series that would be almost impossible to duplicate. Although limited to 1950 co-ordinates  for celestial objects this does not detract from the usability of the  information contained within the pages. Clearly and consisely written, with  background information as well as clear descriptions of the objects listed.  The books could have constellation maps, but since I use them with a star  atlas this would be a luxury.

A complete reference with a nice thumb index along the pages.  It is kind of like having a lawyer in your book case, only cheaper!  This is the 13th Edition from March 2014.  I have been using it to prepare patents for my trombone case designs.

Nice to have something succinct for reference as everyone has their own preference.  A quality purchase for an old library and misplaced other versions.

This is the reference standard for modern tipi making and life.  Clear illustrations and references make this a must-have for anyone exploring their native heritage, no matter how big or small.

A must have in your collection. The single most clear, concise, complete reference on Linux I have ever seen. Of course to truly master Unix/Linux you must own several references. Different materials cover different tasks: Shell scripting, network administration, etc. But as far as the one reference you will want sitting next to you day to day, this is it.

This is the writing reference I assign for all my college English classes. Most writing handbooks are way too big; this one has just the information you need, clearly laid out and well-organized. Includes how to correct all the most common errors, how to edit for conciseness and clarity. Also includes a handy index and a glossary of usage. The spiral binding allows you to lay it flat when using using it for reference. Very handy and necessary are the included guides to the most common documentation styles: MLA, APA, and Chicago Manual of Style. Buy this one and keep it always for an essential reference for all writers, whether college or professional or amateur.

An exhaustive reference tool. Since values haven't changed all that much, it's just as valuable today as the day it was printed.

This completes my library on this subject from the TSR. Is is the same quality of the rest of their output, so I look forward to using this as a reference.
