The Marks Standard Handbook is indeed a great publication. But for 
more of a straight Engineering handbook (2500 pages) approach which 
is equally as thorough and a definite 'one stop' book, I prefer to 
use the 'Machinery's Handbook' (A Reference Book for the Mechanical 
Engineer, Draftsman, Toolmaker and Machinist). Published by;

Industrial Press Inc.
200 Madison Ave.,
New York, NY 10016

My edition is 1980 so the contact details may have changed.

I have both of the publications mentioned above, but the Machinery's 
Handbook is always on my desk.

Regards,

Ron O.
