Earlier this week she brought some of us in things that she had discovered while cleaning. My gift? The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 44th Edition, 1963
I'm a science geek and I'm a history geek, so I find this utterly fascinating. To learn the material we are learning today without the internet, graphic calculators or any of our modern conveniences must have been staggering.
I've attached a few pics of the book, as I am still leafing through it, just to show off how damned cool it is. Yes, I'm a nerd, sue me.

I love it! You've got to admire the folks who filled the pages of these books with their experiments and data. Science forever!
I have a Goodman and Gillman's from 1941, a Pharmacopoeia of the United Staes of America (USP0 from 1926, and a Pharmaceutical Dispensing textbook from 1941
