Just wondering if this is a good value?

I've never seen this book, but I own several by the same author and really like his other (chemistry) books. I've bought neodymium magnets from Home Science Tools and I'd have to look up the name of my favorite magnet book (though it just uses regular magnets).

Could you share the names? I would love them!

You can also use a neo. magnet to
