This is quite reminiscent of a library reference book called the Gale
Dictionary of Abbreviations (or something like that).  Gale Research is
a company that creates publications by entering lists of things into a
database and then publishing various sortings as books.

Now the dictionary of abbreviations comes in two volumes.  One is
like the list posted, listing in abbreviation order.  The other
volume--and libraries really buy this--lists things by name and tells
you what the abbreviation is.  Like you would look up International
Business Machines to find that its abbreviation is "IBM".  Oh.
