From reviews of previous volumes: "Essential for chemistry collections at the university and research levels." -New York Public Library "Highly recommended . lots of succinct, practical information on recent developments . in a format that is easy to use. The reagents are taken up in alphabetical order (common usage names, not CAS indexing code names), sometimes several to a page, sometimes several pages to a reagent. One can expect to find how to make the reagent (in loose terms), or where it can be bought, what it is good for, and where to seek complete details. As with previous volumes, one can profit from just browsing, even if one does not feel a need to look up any particular subject. It is thus a secondary function of the book to help one keep abreast of the field, and it would be a rare chemist who would not learn something new and useful from a casual perusal of the pages." -Journal of the American Chemical Society Reagents for Organic SynthesisVolume 11967(0-471-25875-X)1,475 pp.Volume 21969(0-471-25876-8)538 pp.Volume 31972(0-471-25879-2)401 pp.Volume 41974(0-471-25881-4)660 pp.Volume 51975(0-471-25882-2)864 pp.Volume 61977(0-471-25873-3)765 pp.Volume 71979(0-471-02918-1)487 pp.Volume 81980(0-471-04834-8)602 pp.Volume 91981(0-471-05631-6)596 pp.Volume 101982(0-471-86636-9)528 pp.Volume 111984(0-471-88628-9)669 pp.Volume 121986(0-471-83469-6)643 pp.Volume 131988(0-471-63007-1)472 pp.Volume 141989(0-471-50400-9)386 pp.Volume 151990(0-471-52113-2)432 pp.Volume 161992(0-471-52721-1)435 pp.Volume 171994(0-471-00074-4)464 pp.
