I bought a copy of Metallurgy of Gold by Rose, and only half of it is legible. The scan quality is insufficient to even read.
Instead, I put an offer in on an antique edition on Ebay and got it for $20 shipped, which is $12 less than the Amazon reprint I bought.
I'm returning my highlighted version to Amazon. I feel a little guilty doing so, but it wasn't until i was actually reading it that I realized just how much I'm missing...and seeing as I bought this to develop an initial understanding of cyanide chemistry, missing every other page in the cyanide chemistry section is just completely unacceptable.
Just wanted to give a solid warning to those of you that might be looking for old books.
