I am finding that this is very true in any hardback reference book that 
this community of Amateur Radio Operators would have serious interest in.

It is very much like my 1943 Edition of Terman's.  It really covers a 
whole lot on Radio and Electronics.

I even keep some older Physics books on the shelf, along side of Mark's 
Mechanical Engineering, and the one that most of us has used for 
reference, (Us old folk!), The CRC Reference Manual. Nicknamed the 
"Rubber Book" since CRC stands for the long gone, I think, Chemical 
Rubber Company, or is it Corporation.  Don't remember any more.

It is much easier to go and pull it off the shelf when I need it.

I really prefer to keep a real book on hand.  I don't have to take a 
tablet or laptop to where I am going to read, and have to plug that in 
so I won't have the battery run down.

I like to read actual printed text on paper.  No annoying use of 
software to open a document, and making sure I have the correct one 
installed!

I made a pretty decent living being a Computer Science Major.  It 
doesn't mean I desire to take on to the little room down the hall, or 
out on the deck.

Try and save your page with an old fashioned bookmark when it comes to 
some types of documents!
