Rare Book! The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments: How to Set up a Home Laboratory--Over 200 Simple Experiments by Robert Brent. Published by Golden Press 1960. Second Printing. A decade after the book's publication, concerns were raised over the safety of the reactions described, which frequently used or generated toxic or corrosive substances. For example, one experiment generated toxic chlorine gas, and another used carbon tetrachloride, a potent hepatotoxin. The book was also believed to be a source of inspiration to David Hahn, nicknamed "the Radioactive Boy Scout" by the media, who attempted to construct a nuclear reactor in his mother's shed, although the book does not include any nuclear reactions. Due to safety concerns, the book was eventually pulled from library shelves. It is now quite rare, and as of February 2023 OCLC lists only 103 copies of this book in libraries worldwide." Book is overall in good condition. Cover has a fair amount of wear as shown in photos. Internally it has all of its pages less the first inpage and Infront piece if it had one. There are several sellers of a copy of this book on Cd on the web but the original book is very hard to find. There wasnt one of these on abe books at the time of this listing.
