I came across the wondrous little tome at a book sale at my
alma mater, OCU (Oklahoma City University).
This quick-reference little book, copyrighted 1934, is stupendous in its brief scope.
The inside front cover is above.
The copyright page.
Even the Intro is punchy and concise!
The first working page, next to my pica pole, to show the scale.
A random spread to show the brevity and depth.
The inner rear endpapers.
Isn't this book a thing of beauty? If only you could riffle its pages yourself and marvel at the depths of factitude at your fingertips. It ain't exhaustive, and modern-day magic computer tech makes you want to scoff, but to me this little book is a wonderful example of digested knowledge and helpfulness.
See you Thursday. Don't take any wooden facts!
