I was browsing a flea market the other day and came across a peculiar amish man whilist browsing. (I was stoned off my ass btw). I'm checking out his booth when the man confronts me and ask me if I have any particular interest, to which I respond, anything philosophical in nature or classic works. Admiring my taste, he makes a few good suggestions before tending again to his business.
I make my way around the booth and come across another selections of books. It is here I find a 1930 Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (Hodgman&Lange).. in nearly perfect condition.. the kicker.. $3. I continued browsing and found a treasure of chemistry and physics books (and a few on Zen and Philosophy).. The other favorite was a 1927 Chemistry and It's Uses.. Which being a beginner chemist, I have found it to be a wealth of knowledge easily understood and easily replicated.
Just wondering, do you have any prized literature that you frequently use as reference in your chemistry work?
And the 2 books I mentioned.. In the condition they are, are valued at $85 and $40 respectively. Good Investment :)
EDIT: Took out the unneccesary info to clean it up the thread a little.
