I have a copy from a late '70's edition. The book is a compilation / re-publication of late 1800's scientific parlor tricks. Fantastic reading, and the experiments seem to work!<BR/><BR/>I looks like the book is now available under the title "Secrets of 123 Classic Science Tricks and Experiments" (still listing Lanners as the editor).<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Classic-Science-Tricks-Experiments/dp/0830628215/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product/102-0018437-3658563Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01918006683836461575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-83094780080176716582007-03-09T14:18:00.000-08:002007-03-09T14:18:00.000-08:00I must have tha book at home.
