[Robotgroup] The Golden Book Of Chemistry Experiments

[Derek Bridges]

I got a copy of The Golden Book Of Chemistry Experiments when I was  in the 3rd or 4th grade and read it over and over again - it was something of a formative factor for me. If I can still find it I will bring it in to show. Then I will have to look carefully to see what might be so dangerous about it. Then I might find myself selling it if I look at those prices too often. From Amazon: "List price: $3.95 Collectible from: $275.00"  Wow, those boomers are crazy.
