For me at least, unadorned "rubber book" defaults to meaning the three-inch-thick Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, which for as long as they keep publishing it on paper (do they still?) is unlikely to ever slim down very much. (Still have my "52nd Edition, 1971-1072" edition. Admittedly, more because you never know when a 3x8x11" chunk of matter is going to come in handy than because I ever look anything up in it, but still.) -- wds
