I think that was the book I found in the library ages ago and copied quite a few of the formulas. I didnt understand the significance of most of it then but it was quite interesting.

I have a copy of this book. I think I found it at an estate sale some years ago. It is neat!

I've saved the pdf, (thank you to the OP for the link) but as someone who prefers reading from a book, rather than on a screen, I have just bought a (basically) 'print to order' book from one of the sellers on ebay.

Paypal wouldn't let me use the cheapest seller, as they weren't allowed to sell to the UK, for what ever reason.

Note that the majority of the listings are print to order, as mentioned above, apart from a couple of original copies being sold, which obviously cost more.

Yes, I much prefer a physical book but will make-do if with a PDF if I must.

Your link didn't work for me, but maybe something like this was what you were speaking of?

POD (print on demand) books can be real hit or miss; some take care with the translation from scans, others just print blurry garbage.

I have the original by Dr Momme Andresen who formulated Rodinal and was Agfa's pioneering chemist.
