Chemistry And Chemical Magic (gnv64)

This ancient book belonged to my grandfather, He probably got it from a library,
It was piblished almost a hundred years ago & I discovered it a few weeks back.
This bound book of 150 pages is printed on thick pages which are now turning brown & literally crumbling.
I did not want to lose the book so I set out to repair the pages. Though I managed to prevent loss of any pages, some were beyond complete repair. It took me a few days.
Next headache was to scan the fragile pages which took me 3 days.
I cleaned up all the scanned images & optimized the final PDF; So you will not realise the bad state of the printed book in this ebook version,
Only the cover will give it away!
Overall it is a nice book to find out how chemistry was develoed 100 years back.
