Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I have a spare photocopy of 'The Art of Perfumery' 4th Edition 1879. By G.W.Septimus Piesse Phd FCS (an Englishman not French). To explain, I bought the 'First edition' book some years ago and a friend bought the revised '4th Edition'. We then copied each book so that we had copies of both. The Fourth edition was revised with additional line drawings of plants and extraction equipment. As part of my project to convert my mountain of paper files to digital,I have just scanned the photocopies of this book which means the paper photocopies are now surplus. The copies are very clear and the images can be recopied and computer enhanced. The book consists of 510 pages (two pages to each A4 sheet). The pages are hole punched to fit European ring binders, but there is enough margin to repunch for US paper size binders. This book is packed with old formulas on creams, perfumes, etc as well as a wealth of information on essential oils. The original 4th edition from book dealers is $298. I would rather the wonderful information in this book goes to someone interested in the subject, rather than putting the paper out for recyling. So if anyone wants them the asking price is just $30 plus mail of $30 by airmail or $16 surface mail. UK £15 plus £5 mail. Please use my web site email to contact me, not the one on this newsgroup.
