A handbook is a small manual, reference work, or other collection of instructions, intended to provide ready reference. A vade mecum (lat. "go with me") or pocket reference is intended to be carried at all times. The name "handbook" may sometimes be applied to reference works that are not pocket-sized, but do provide ready reference, as is the case with several engineering handbooks such as Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook, Marks Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, and the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.
