The telecommunications Engineer's Pocket Guide.
ISBN 0 7506 39369

This is a cracking little book and will fit in your pocket (I know I have
tried it unlike some other so called pocket guides which you could not fit
in a skip) It costs about £15 and they have a whole range covering all sorts
of topics.

There is also another book which from what I remember of it is used by some
university's. Forgive the vague description but I have not opened it in a
while and it only comes off the shelf when I am really stuck. It is Hardback
with a green cover and a picture of a spider web on the front. It is broken
down into three parts. and each chapter has questions at the end for the
brave. If anyone has this book they will know because it is brilliant. I
will have a look over the weekend and find out the ISBN number and I would
recommend it for anyone who wants a good founding in Telecommunications.

Harry.
