I don't know what the hell happened to it, but I had a book that I absolutely loved called 'Practical Everyday Chemistry'. I think that it was from the late 1800's or very early 1900's, and gave formulae and excellently detailed instructions for making everything from soap through horse medicine to fireworks and electroplating.
Got one of those too.

I've got one of those...it's older than me, and it's got neat cartoon pictures.
I think that the oldest one I have is 'radio and television receiver circuitry and operation' by Alfred A. Ghirardi and J. Richard Johnson (no caps in the title). It was published in '51. Even the newest ones are from the early 60's, and I have 7 or 8 of them.

Oh... okay. I always thought that he had that number because there were 43200 other Gokuls registered before him.

[untruth]Well, there was a Gokul43200 here and I assumed there already were 43199 before him, so ...[/untruth]
I detect a note of facetiousness there. :-p
