The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments, was written by Robert Brent and illustrated by Harry Lazarus. The first edition was printed in 1960. A second printing was made in 1962 and a revised edition was printed in 1963.
It is reported that the US government had the book removed from libraries and banned for sale on the grounds that the projects were too dangerous for its intended audience, which was kids.
