Tourism Handbooks in Print and On the Internet
This is a selected group of handbooks of various kinds that illustrate and
support the role of the handbook in providing topically specific but
detailed coverage of various aspects of tourism including specific
geographic regions and places of interest to tourism and tourists.
From the ODLIS Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science
by Joan M. Reitz
This definition of handbook:
handbook
A single-volume reference book of compact size that provides concise
factual information on a specific subject, organized systematically for
quick and easy access. Statistical information is often published in
handbook form (example: Statistical Handbook on the American Family). Some
handbooks are published serially (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics).
Synonymous with vade mecum. See also: companion and manual.

Handbook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handbook>
A handbook is a type of reference work, or other collection of
instructions, that is intended to provide ready reference. A vade mecum
(lat. "go with me") or pocket reference is intended to be carried at all
times.
Handbooks may deal with any topic, and are generally compendiums of
information in a particular field or about a particular technique.
<snip>
The name "handbook" may sometimes be applied to reference works that are
not pocket-sized, but do provide ready reference, as is the case with
several engineering handbooks....
