This is my copy of this excellent book, printed and bound by one of the big office supply stores for a very reasonable sum. Thanks again.

Comparing crease and scratch marks on the cover of your printed copy with my copy on the computer, it's apparent that they are the same. Perhaps all internet versions originated from one copy uploaded by an anonymous individual. Certainly a nice, well-illustrated book. The "Golden" in the title suggests a book for children, though some of the experiments are at high school or college level. Reading it bought back memories of being a kid and going into the local drug store and buying a variety of useful chemicals, particularly potassium nitrate.

I remember one summer as a young teen, on my fourth trip to the local drug store to get sulfur and posassium nitrate the clerk finally decided to ask me what I was using it for. :lol:

I know I'm raising this topic from the dead, but I just have to post this: THANK YOU! to everyone who added books to this and other great topics here.
The amount of knowledge in these few pages is simply amazing for me.
