Random rules of thumb
Merlin Mann | Feb 15 2005
A bunch of “rules of thumb,” via Google, natch.
The best rule of thumb I always remember is from a book of the same name that’s probably out of print. I think of it every time I skulk around the house acting like a dissatisfied crank:
Got a good, (non-dirty) rule of thumb to share? Update 2005-02-16T11:11: Sharp-eyed GH noticed the wonderful Rules of Thumb books are available used on Amazon. Awesome. Check out the comments for interesting background from the books' editor. 27 Comments

Yup, they are well and truly out of print. The then publisher -- Houghton Mifflin -- failed to support Parker adequately after I left the publishing house. I won't even get into the really brilliant project we accomplished but they never published because it was, well, just beyond them. However, this mention of the books has brought them back to me strongly and I've been in email correspondence with Parker who has the material and who did the brilliant drawings for all of them, so maybe.... just maybe.... we will be able to get something going again in this medium. » POSTED IN:
