Before pc’s and web applets made computing compound interest so easy, these books used to be sold everywhere. I’d like to give one to an elder relative who has re-taken an interest in his finances but I can’t even get a bookstore clerk to understand what I’m trying to find much less if there are any still published today. I’d be happy recreating one in a spreadsheet if only I had one to imitate the format / layout / values of. Any help from fellow Makers?
