A medley of standards required by OSHA in Part 1926, the safety regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations. These standards cost $2,110.90 for 7.73 pounds for a value rating of $273.07/pound.By contrast, Clay Johnson's Information Diet costs $13.99 for a 2.2 pound package for a value rating of $6.35/pound. Of course, the market for diet books is a competitive one, so if you don't like Clay's book, you can buy another one or write your own.Similarly, a 1-oz tin of finest saffron costs $182.25, for a value rating of $2,916/pound. Of course, saffron is a competitive market, so you can find a variety of cheaper prices or even grow your own.

Standards purchased for $1,274.68 with a weight of 2.7 pounds for a normalized cost per pound of public safety specifications of $472.10/pound. (The package includes ISO standards, so for those of you who are internationally-inclined that works out to 812.56 Euros per Kilogram.)By contrast, Germanium costs $568.18/pound, but of course it is a non-renewable resource. Likewise, fresh black winter truffles retail for $400-$600/pound, but they taste better than paper.

ASTM Annual Books are ordered on the used market, then we look for specific documents incorporated into the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. If we're lucky, a book will have 2-3 standards included. The books are sliced apart and the relevant standards scanned. We have over 100 of these volumes in various stages of disrepair.
