Excellent article.
One of my favorite books from the late 1950's was Isaac Asimov's Building Blocks of the Universe which covered the discovery, properties and naming of each of the elements. It was my first introduction to the periodic table. I just looked it up on Amazon. They have both hard cover and also 3 used paperbacks starting at $199.99. There must be some real Asimov fans out there.
I have a lot of Asimov books, mostly science fiction. I wonder if there is a monetary value in cleaning my bookshelf.

Hey you never know CB you might be sitting on millions or close to it. I read Asimov's Building Blocks of the Universe, also. I can't believe the asking price. WOW.

I got a reply back from one of the companies selling used books on Amazon that they no longer buy books or accept them for donation.
