Default Practical Formulars for Hobby or Profit

In one of my searches for info, I found a Google Books link to the book "Practical Formulas for Hobby or Profit" by Henry Goldschmiedt.

https://books.google.com/books?id=2h...ulfate&f=false

The book has info for Adhesives & Cement; Cosmetics; drugs; Farm, Garden & Home special& to mix & make these products. There's too many to list.

I did another search to buy a copy of this $50 book and found a used copy though Able books for $5 with shipping. I received the book yesterday after 4 days shipping. It looks to be brand new but has sat on a shelf for the past 55 years.

I going though the Farm & Garden section now. There is lots of good info for fertilizers, flower & foliage preservatives, fungicides, pesticides, and growth stimulants, ect. too much to list.

This will likely just become a quick reference for types of product I might need. Then I'll go buy it instead of making it.

Yes I know I have misspelling in the title. I can't access it for correction.

The book has basic formulations for commercial products. The formulas are given as ratios, making it easy to scale batch size up or down as needed. So many of these could be 'home' made if cost of the ingredients are not otherwise cost prohibitive.

Anyway, for $5 the book is a good reference on how and what chemicals are used to make many of the products used around the house and farm. The book was published by Chemical Publishing Co.; NY. and is not 'copy cat' recipes by a 'kitchen chemist'. ... But a good reference every 'Kitchen Chemist' needs.

Sounds like a modern imitation of this book:

Henley's Twentieth Century Book of Formulas, Processes and Trade Secrets
1942 Revised and Enlarged Edition

The Norman W. Henley Publishing Company
17-19 W. 45th St.
New York
Copyright 1937, 1934, 1933, 1931, 1927, 1924, 1916, 1914, 1913, 1912 and 1907

Does your book include sections about explosives and pyrotechnics? Mine does. It has 861 pages not including the index.

No explosives, but there is a small section of pyrotechnics: water proof matches, underwater flare, sparklers, smokeless signal flare, lighter fluid, cold fire and a few others.

If you click the google link above, you can see some of the sections and the table of contents of the book.

Thanks for your book name. I'll look for it later. ... Do you have a link for it?

I inherited the book from my father.

Yes, I found several links. One with Able books for $1 & $4 shipping. Also, it looks like the last edition was printed in 1967 ($10 to $15).

Thanks
