Yeah, that's the one. You can get a used copy of the 86th edition for
around $35, the 87th will set you back around $55, and the current edition,
88th, is around $100 used and new $140. The 86th (or even the 85th) would
probably be fine for what any of us would be doing. At $35 it might be
worth getting a copy even if it's a couple of editions old; heck, my
Machinery's Handbook is from the mid '70s (22nd edition, IRRC) and it was
worth every penny, and still plenty useful even if it is 30 years old, and
I'm not building nuke plants any more, either.
