1. DICTIONARY
Title OXFORD ENGLISH DICTONARY

No. of Volume (if any) Volume 1
Description The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is widely regarded as the accepted authority
on the English language. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and
pronunciation of 600,000 words— past and present—from across the English-
speaking world.
As a historical dictionary, the OED is very different from dictionaries of current
English, in which the focus is on present-day meanings. You’ll still find present-
day meanings in the OED, but you’ll also find the history of individual words, and
of the language—traced through 3 million quotations, from classic literature and
specialist periodicals to film scripts and cookery books.
The OED started life more than 150 years ago. Today, the dictionary is in the
process of its first major revision. Updates revise and extend the OED at regular
intervals, each time subtly adjusting our image of the English language.

No. of Volume (if any) VOLUME 8
Description The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is a comprehensive one-volume
reference resource for science research. First published in 1914, it is
currently (as of 2021) in its 102nd edition, published in 2021. It is sometimes
nicknamed the "Rubber Bible" or the "Rubber Book", as CRC originally stood
for "Chemical Rubber Company".

As late as the 1962–1963 edition (3604 pages) the Handbook contained

myriad information for every branch of science and engineering. Sections in
that edition include: Mathematics, Properties and Physical Constants,
Chemical Tables, Properties of Matter, Heat, Hygrometric and Barometric
Tables, Sound, Quantities and Units, and Miscellaneous. Earlier editions
included sections such as "Antidotes of Poisons", "Rules for Naming Organic
Compounds", "Surface Tension of Fused Salts", "Percent Composition of Anti-
Freeze Solutions", "Spark-gap Voltages", "Greek Alphabet", "Musical Scales",
"Pigments and Dyes", "Comparison of Tons and Pounds", "Twist Drill and
Steel Wire Gauges" and "Properties of the Earth's Atmosphere at Elevations
up to 160 Kilometers". Later editions focus almost exclusively on chemistry
and physics topics and eliminated much of the more "common" information.

6. BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY
Title THE BIOGGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF LITERARY FAILURE
Publisher Melville House
Date of Publication NOVEMBER 4 , 2014
Place of Publication UNITED STATE
Call. No. -
No. of Volume (if any) VOLUME 1
Description A signal event of literary scholarship, The Biographical Dictionary of
Literary Failure compiles the biographies of history’s most notable cases
of a complete lack of literary success. As such, it is the world’s leading
authority on the subject.

Compiled in one volume by C. D. Rose, a well-educated person

universally acknowledged in parts of England as the world’s pre-eminent
expert on inexpert writers, the book culls its information from lost or
 otherwise ignored archives scattered around the globe, as well as the
occasional dustbin.

The dictionary amounts to a monumental accomplishment: the definitive

appreciation of history’s least accomplished writers. Thus immortalized
beyond deserving and rescued from hard-earned obscurity, the authors
presented in this historic volume comprise a who’s who of the talentless
and deluded, their stories timeless litanies of abject psychosis,
misapplication, and delinquency.
