Looking for an old (1950s) "chemical experiments" book
There are 2 books in German which inspired me to become Chemist. I had them in the late 70s.
"Chemische Experiemnte, die gelingen" (Chemical experiments which succeed) and "Organische Chemie im Probierglas" (Organic chemistry in a test tube). Both published originally in 1939 by Hermann Römpp and Hermann Raaf. Kosmos Verlag (Kosmos Publishers). No idea if there ever were English translations, but you might still find them in antiquary bookshops.
