Back in the late 60's this book, written for Children, was pulled from all public libraries and store shelves by the government. It was said that the experiments and information contained herein were too dangerous for the general public. A big fuss was made of a 1995 incident near Detroit in which child chemist, David Hahn, attempted to build a nuclear breeder reactor in his backyard shed. A book by Ken Silverstein called 'The Radioactive Boyscout' tells the whole story, but you can get a summary on Wikipedia. This book is thoroughly interesting and is full of ideas and inspiration, it is the bible for any young chemist-in-training. Used copies on Amazon are rare and are currently priced between $237 and $690 for very used copies. However, because it was published in 1960, before the US copyright laws were rewritten, and because its original copyright was never renewed (yes, I checked myself), it's legal for me to share with you online.

This is a fun book but it was never banned or seized from bookshelves by the government. The content is not more dangerous than other books of its era intended for science hobbyists. I’m not sure how this urban legend-ish story took root, but I challenge anyone to find historical record of it.

My father gave me a copy of this book back in the mid to late 60′s. I think I did about 30% of the experiments. Sadly, I lost my copy.
Wednesday, March 21st 2007 at 12:20 pm
Wow! This is truly a revelation and a shock to me. I received this book for Christmas in the early 60s. I really loved this book and tried many of the experiments in my makeshift kitchen table “lab”. I made quite a bit of progress until, one day, the book just disappeared. I searched the house high and low. No more Golden Book. You can imagine how bummed I was. I then tried to find a copy at the local library. No luck. In those days a kid wouldn’t even think of buying a book. You either went to the library or your parents bought them for you. Mostly just school books. So I just accepted the loss and moved on. From time to time I looked anew for the book in vain.
So that’s it. My parents probably heard about this and disappeared the book without saying a word to me about it. They would have done something like that without batting an eyelash. This was the 60s after all. Parents didn’t communicate with their children. They manipulated them. ‘Child psychology’ it was euphemistically called. Wow! I can’t believe my eyes. Yet another way they lied to me.
It is quite a thrill to read this for the first time in over 45 years. Thanks so much for making it available and for uncovering the mystery of its disappearance.
Tuesday, April 3rd 2007 at 12:37 pm
Im wondering if there is a copy available with the recipies for gunpowder and dynamite in aswell. Are you saying that the original had these recipies included ?
I have not been able to find an electronic copy of the book containing these recipies and i have downloaded a few copies from different sources..
Great book though…
Thanks..
Monday, April 9th 2007 at 12:34 pm
Anyone know of any other important engineering/science books that have been taken off the shelf in this manner? It’s sad really. No wonder our public schools continue to produce mediocre students. Censorship and education cannot co-exist.
Tuesday, May 1st 2007 at 3:23 am
There is a set of ‘Understanding Science’ periodicals that was printed during the 1960′s and were full of illustrations like this. Thanks for the pdf, it makes great reading. If only schools were teaching this stuff. It would catch the pupil’s attention and enthusiam more, and probably encourage more young people to invest in knowing about science and become a new generation of scientist.
Thursday, May 3rd 2007 at 3:00 am
I doubt the book that told you how to make acid (mentioned above) was printed in the late 30′s. Acid (LSD-25) was discovered in 1938, and then forgotten about shortly after. Albert Hoffman, the man who discovered the substance, didn’t revisit the substance until 1947, when some of it was absorbed through his skin by accident. So the substance wasn’t really well enough known until the late 40′s, and even then it wasn’t popular until the 50′s-60′s. Perhaps the book the poster above mentioned was “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test”, by Tom Wolfe, or “LSD – My Problem Child”, by Albert Hoffman himself. Since I’ve never read these books myself, I couldn’t tell you whether there’s a recipe for LSD in them or not, but I’m sure they’re worth picking up. Remember, The More You Know…..

This was the TURNING POINT book in my life! My parents saw my interest in chemistry as a young kid and bought me a Porter Chemistry set. I loved it, having fun and even learned a little bit about chemistry. At this time, they also bought the book The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments for me to aid in my understanding of chemistry. Needless to say, I fell in love with the book and did many experiments contained therein. Now that I am older, I still find a certain nostalgia when thinking of those times, my excitment of learning chemistry (has never left me). and this wonderful book with great illustrations and explanations to thrill the young (and old) chemist alike. If you like (love) chemistry as I do, or think you might, then by all means get this book or download a copy. It has inspired generations in the pursuit of this wonderful science!

I recently bought this book in pristine condition on ebay for $105, including shipping. I guess I got lucky. The one I have has a red cloth type covering and says 1960 edition. I am also putting together a chemistry set for my 13 year old son and hope to go through all of the experiments in this book with him. I say “putting together” because I was unable to find anthing on the market that was complete with an alcohol burner, chemicals and assorted glassware. So I have found a set of borsilicate lab glassware and an alcohol burner. I have also found a company http://www.hometrainingtools.com that will sell the necessary chemicals(between 30 and 100 grams in individual containers). Given all the money spent on XBOX360 and the other stuff/garbage kids get, I consider this money well spent on my son. Lastly, I have printed out the pdf version of the book and put it in a binder as a working copy to use for the experiments, rather than risk ruining the truly amazing quality book I was able to get.

This book DOES contain dangerous experiments. You all may want to ignore it but it is a fact. By dangerous, I mean ‘may expose your child to compounds which are immediately toxic (eg chlorine and hydrogen sulfide), or may have various long term effects such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, iodoform, acrolein etc etc. It is really funny that the book considers sulfuric and nitric acid to be so dangerous, and yet it considers sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid to be ‘safe’. I will bet anyone over the age of 18 that they would never consider putting either of the latter in their eyes! And yet both are used like ‘water’ in he various experiments. DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY who does not understand the hazards of chemicals to use this book unsupervised.

Great to see this book. Thank you! I’ve downloaded it and printed it for several children interested in science. Banned or not, the fact that material is no longer available or encouraged is a sad state of affair. This comes from the perspective of a child who grew up having a Gilbert chemistry set. (Try an buy one of those!) BTW, I highly recommend a good read of “Surely Your Joking Mr. Feynman” where he details evaluating science books for the education system.
