red book
Scarlet-covered tome
A red book is any of several official publications traditionally bound in red covers.
In the UK, the Red Book refers to the government's budget report.
In the US, the Redbook sets standards for blood banking.
Various fields have their own red books—automotive pricing guides, pharmaceutical references, diplomatic directories.
The term is sometimes used generically for any authoritative reference in a specialized field.
