Beauty that's more than skin deep.

This is a beautiful lab manual. Glossy pages and excellent pictures. The preparation is well presented and the labs well set out. Complicated procedures make the labs more suitable for university-level or high school honors classes. It would be helpful to have the corresponding text.
