Phosphate, alum, ammonia, cream tartar: every baking powder formula a grocer might mix, with instructions attached. The grocers' manual is a trade recipe book for the store itself, compounds and preparations for the man who sold them across the counter. Shopkeeping chemistry, frank and unsentimental. See what was really in the tin.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
