Clay, the book you mention seems out of print. How about making the online sheet less basic by using your sources? ;-) I see lots of advantages: the internet is (or will be soon) available anywhere, anytime (thinking of e.g the iPhone), so you dont have to take a book with you. And you don't have to buy it in the first place. It will never be outdated, but continuously revised and kept up to date.
I wish there was a sheet like this for e.g. Brenda's thread sizes ... in fact I think of scanning it and put it into a spreadsheet (for personal use only, of course).
