Overall the pocket edition is a good guide. The pages are laminated and it's small, so I can keep it handy in my shop. I use the drill & tapping size charts the most. I just wish it had a pre-reaming drill chart.
Pros
Laminated; handy size; lots of useful information
Cons
No pre-reaming drill size chart

Doesn't have premachine diameter for external threading with a die, or the formula.

Great reference guide and educational booklet for all things metal workshop
Concise and to-the-point
Pros
Has all the information you need to either get the job done, or give you direction to do more research
Cons
It would be nice to have access to an electronic version which is much easier to search using keywords. I do understand that there are issues around copyright /abuse - but for those of us that have the laptop open constantly looking at references, it would be amazing!
