What does pearson book say about clockwise and counter-clockwise torque? which direction gives a positive torque?

Torque is the vector product of force and radius vector and it's direction is given by ' right hand thumb rule ' which indicates clockwise torque direction in to the paper and anticlockwise torque direction out of the paper .
