This is Gibb's landmark book on "Chemical Thermodynamics and reaction rates. It gives the Chemistry "state of the art" as it was in 1920's. This book is about 80 years old now and I received it in good shape, it was sealed in plastic. However, the shipping left a little to be desired, I thought I was going to get it shipped USPS Priority Mail, but it came Media Post instead, took forever, it shipped from New York to California and then to Florida; I am lucky that it arrived at all.

I agree with the other reviewer. This book is amazing. Nowadays there's an idea around that a good textbook must be complete, i.e. it must cover every aspect of the topic and come full of exercises (take that horrible Physical Chemistry piece, by Peter Atkins, just for starters). Well, this book just proves how wrong that is: a good book contains few relevant exercises and a lot of explanations. This is the book to learn thermodynamics from! Even though it's old (1923), it still delivers quite a punch. Use it together with your Physical Chemistry textbook and you will learn a great deal.

I got the 1923 first edition version. This book is fantastic for looking at the history of how thermodynamics came to be what it is today. While this book is no longer in print anymore, it was the Bible of Thermodynamics in its day.
