Review:

5 star review for the 16th Edition: "Excellent handbook. I would like to recommend this handbook to every chemist. It contains lots of valuble information needed in every day research."-- (08/28/2012)

5 star review for the 16th Edition: "Essential Tool for Any Working Chemist. Very few refrences works these days seem indispensable or can be easily found online. However Lange's Handbook is the essential tool for any working chemist. The one-volume source of factual information for chemists, both professionals and students. The first place in which to "look it up" on the spot. The aim is to provide sufficient data to satisfy all one's general needs without recourse to other reference sources. A user will find this volume of value as a time-saver because of the many tables of numerical data that have been especially compiled."-- (02/08/2005)
