[LM_NET] QUESTION--What is a handbook?

["Debra W. Waugh" <debwaugh.lm_net@FRONTIERNET.NET>]

Evidently this was the day I fell asleep in my Reference class. Other than
knowing that handbooks are often lumped into a category with almanacs I
can't think of how you would actually describe one or define its role. I
humbly ask your assistance.

 

TIA
