Handy little book - only wish I had more opportunities to use it!

This little book is a perfect book for those of us that still operate under a non-metric based measurement system. It is small (about the size of my hand) so it can easily fit in your toolbox or desk drawer. It has countless conversions in it that one may find useful (or useless in some cases). I wish I did more work with different types of measuring systems so I could use this little book some more, but it has provided me with some quick conversions throughout the duration of time I have owned it. This book contains metric to english conversions and english to english conversions. It also contains every possible 12-month calendar (there are 14 total). This book is definately worth a couple bucks; but, probably not much more. I doubt I'll ever truly use this because I don't often need to convert kilograms to pounds to stones or furlongs to chains to milli-inches. However, I do look forward to the next time I go on a sailboat or boating excursion so that I can figure out how many nautical miles I will travel.
