The following three books got sold about an hour ago in ebay. The red colored Dave Blesser book aside, can anybody provide information on the other two books? If somebody from APC won the auction can he or she let us know about the contents of these books?
Thanks in advance
Sora

The sky is my canvas, and I have 2,113 pounds of powdered paint in the workshop.

Thanks, OldMarine and Mumbles. Is it worthwhile to buy Donald Haarman's book? AFN seems to have another edition of the book with some redundancies removed:

The available formulae listings are all either short and incomplete, or full and contain exotic ingredients or include historic compounds using chems of restricted compatibilities or all of the above!
Chlorate stars were essential once but had hazards, lots of formulae exist with chlorate and sulphur which have now been superceeded. You need to read old books with some wisdom before working from them.
The worst thing about formulation books is that they often miss some essential features such as particle size and mixing method.

Congratulations Maserface for winning these three books and the other set of two. I got outbid for this set, however, managed to win the 13 issues of PGI bulletins.
