Excerpt from Handbook, 1921
The term reference books is used in libraries to indicate books to which one turns to find some special fact, but which one does not expect to read through consecutively. Such books are most often of the dictionary or cyclopedia sort, that is, compilations of disconnected material in an alphabetical arrangement. Some of them are general,-one may reasonably hope to find something in them about almost any subject.
