can usually find out if it's downloadable in the 1st page or 2 of results.

Google books has Pourcher's 10th edition, but not as a downloadable pdf. I only

gave it a quick look -- may have missed something.

Hi :

I have the 10th edition pdf version of Poucher, and it's a big

disappointment for the natural perfumer. All of the lovely old

" recipes " found in the early editions are gone. There is a bit

more on the business end of things, briefs, and such, but I

haven't read that in depth yet. I always recommend checking the

resale book sites for old editions, the older, the better, and

make sure you only get Vols. 1 and 2, since the 3rd is on

synthetics. There are good bargains on them to be found to those

with persistent personalities ( like mine!) ;-)
