This out-of-print Monograph is now freely downloadable in individual chapters

Although clearly aimed at Teachers, it should be also be useful to the amateur.

Thanks, Michael. The recipes for crystal growth are one thing we can use.

Curious - have you stumbled across anything similar with photo illustrations? We're trying to assemble a small library that can help kids can browse to come up with ideas for STEAM (what used to be "science fair") 4th grade through high school projects. Seems that cool images are key to capturing kids' interest.
