I finally got the Old Dr. Carlin’s Recipe Print Set completed and have gotten some printed and bound. Actually I got then printed and bound a week or so ago but it took a while to find a good container in which to mail them. Finally found some boxes that are a close enough fit to work.

The first bound copy went on my own shelf.

I’ve looked at a LOT of various Formula and Recipe books and all of them were lacking in one way or another to my mind. They were either MASSIVELY thick to the point of being impractical to print or were weighted far to much on one direction or another or just simply didn’t cover the range of information that seemed to me worth printing. I finally came across this one that someone recommended it and was able to find a decent enough scan of it that it could be printed without having to retype the entire book from cover to cover.

It did have a chapter on Health and Medicines which I removed from the printed copy.

Keep in mind this was originally printed in 1881 when you could by morphine and opium over the counter at the local pharmacy and mercury was ingested to treat a number of ailments. Arsenic was a common ingredient of some of them. Nothing in that section is of any interest to anyone even generally sane. For those morbid enough to read it anyway that part of the book is still in then PDF copy in the Library.
