Back Issues, Chemical Abstracts
Aeroscopic Engineers, Inc., has some issues of Chemical Abstracts for which they have no further use. Rather than have the issues go to a landfill, they wish to donate them to some organization that can use them. The issues are unbound and somewhat dog-earned, and some are without covers; all text is intact except as noted. 4th Chemical Abstracts Decennial Index (1937–1946), complete. 1947 Chemical Abstracts, Vol. 41, Nos. 1–24 (No. 11 and Author Index missing) 1948 Chemical Abstracts, Vol. 42, Nos. 1–24 (Author Index missing) 1949 Chemical Abstracts, Vol. 43, Nos. 1–24 (Author Index missing)
