An absolutely delightful book filled with useful and interesting information. Philip has a lighthearted sense of humor and a pleasant style of writing, this was fun to listen to and a book I’d like to own a copy of to use as reference. Though published in 1910, the chemistry discussed is sound and Philip explains all the core concepts well and with addictive enthusiasm.
