Aeroscopic Engineers, Inc., has some issues of Chemical Abstracts for which they have no further use. Rather than have the issues go to a landfill, they wish to donate them to some organization that can use them. The issues are unbound and somewhat dog-earned, and some are without covers; all text is intact except as noted.
