My parents had a more irregular set of reference books collected from the 60s to early 80s, but that seems to have gone by the wayside since their Big Move a few years ago. There was something in the way they wrote information books in those days that they don't anymore. Mind, modern styles can be quite as good or better in some ways, but that doesn't mean I don't also miss the old ways of writing.
And there is something uniquely endearing about the Think Metric guidebooks, isn't there?
