      I will use this book alot. In my job I am always looking for reference material and now I know where to look first to find something. This is a great tool. It would be nice if it had better tabulation to make areas of interest easier to find.

          Had one of these some time back, used it frequently and managed to lose it, or misplace it, or it grew legs and walked off when visitors are present. This time I bought two!!

            Comments about The Pocket Reference:

            I work in theatre in Chicago and the backstage handbook is what I go to for all things specifically related to technical theatre, but there are many things that are useful to know that fall outside the purview of that book. This seems to me to be a great reference for a techie-minded theatre artist to have, in addition to being a great reference for everyday and home projects

            delivery was as described and the item as arrived in great condition

                Sometimes I need reference material and I have had previous editions of this book but didn't know where to find additional copies. Other than making sure you have a set of cheaters to read the small print get a copy and keep it with you all the time.
