A guy I work with had a Machinery's handbook 25th edition on the bookshelf of his cubical. I spied that and asked if I could take a look. I thumbed through it and said," hey thanks, I need one of these." He said, "Give that to me!!!!" While I was handing it back he opened his lower desk drawer, pulled out another copy and tossed it at me. "HERE! and shut the &$%^ UP!" He grinned a little. Knowing him, I think his wife got her engagement ring in a similar fashion. :) It amazes me how some people are so nice but don't want to be known or portrayed that way. Just in case you are wondering, I know for a fact he bought both books himself, they are not from a company. That's a nice gift, I told him I was only kidding but he insisted I take it. Damn nice guy. It renewed my faith in humanity which has been lagging lately.
 
Pay it forward.

CHuck the grumpy old guy
 
I've lost count how many times I've referred to mine, for work and school it's proven invaluable.
