I've just come across a download that might interest some of you experimenters out there. The Golden Book of Chemistry experiments was published in the 1960's and was quickly pulled from the shelves as it contains experiments of a less than... safe nature.
The site that I found where you can download it is one where you have to register, I'm afraid. But if any of you are serious about science then you should join this site anyway. It is chock full of science texts and magazines.

(You'll need a bit torrent client, of course. I recommend Azureus.
This book was made famous in the Case of the Radioactive Boy Scout. Which you might find interesting.
