Hi, I'm looking for a good chemistry lab manual/book that discribes how the general lab equipment works (with pictures and illustrations) how to use it, and perhaps some good lab techniques.

What books can you all recommend?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
In Germany the classic book is the "Organikum", there is also an english translation of one of the earlier editions but probably out of print.
 
Vogel's Practical Organic Chemistry comes to mind. And perhaps Vogel's Quantitative Chemical Analysis.

Looks interesting, and quite big!. Is it easy to understand? I've also considered Techniques in Organic Chemistry - by Jerry Mhorig. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1429219564/?tag=pfamazon01-20
