Pocket Ref

I recently had the pleasure of reading Pocket Ref, an enlightening compendium by Thomas Glover. This isn’t your typical coffee table book, but rather a slim yet comprehensive tome that fits comfortably in your pocket or bag. With its 864 pages, it offers a wealth of information without compromising portability. Its dimensions of 3.2" x 5.4" ensure it doesn’t take up too much space, making it perfect for on-the-go learning.

The softbound edition I received feels sturdy and well-made. It opened flat easily, which was a pleasant surprise considering its size. The pages are well bound, and the text is clear and easy to read, even in less than ideal lighting conditions. The font size seems just right for quick reference or in-depth reading.

Thomas Glover’s writing style is engaging and accessible. He manages to make complex topics understandable without oversimplifying them, which is a rare skill indeed. I found myself drawn into the book, eager to learn more about the subjects covered. The contents span a wide range of topics, from history and science to philosophy and culture.

One slight drawback was the lack of an index, which made finding specific information a bit challenging at times. However, once I got used to flipping through the pages, it became less of an issue. Overall, I highly recommend Pocket Ref for anyone who loves learning and values convenience. It’s a treasure trove of knowledge that fits perfectly in your pocket or bag.
