I have neat friends that send me interesting things in the mail, after a bit of travel I came home to this rare 1951 book called "How to make an atomic bomb in your own kitchen--well, practically!" by Bob Bale - I just started reading it, and so far it's a great, if you can make pancakes, you can understand how atomics work... Link (Amazon). I'm trying to find out where this book could be found or if reprint exists, so far not coming up with a lot...

If I'm looking for an out-of-print book I can usually find it at ABEBooks.com: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&an=Bob+Bale&y=19&tn=How+To+Make+An+Atomic+Bomb+In+Your+Own+Kitchen&x=46

I just checked and there are ten copies available starting at around $20.

I'm sure the copyright has run out. Why don't you post a torrent?
