Book suggestion

I am looking for a book that is similar to golden book of chemistry experiments, but for organic chemistry that contains experiments for organic chemistry with easy available chemicals. Is there something like that?

Organic Experiments for the Home Lab is the closest of any book I am aware of, but the chemicals are not really all that available now. Google books does not yet have a scan of this book, but they do have a PDF of a general chemistry book for the home lab by the same author.

I have not been able to find one. Only Google has a scan, and it has not yet diffused to HathiTrust. The only vendor I found for a used copy wanted $130. If anyone can point me to a copy going for under $50 I will buy it and scan it myself.

I knew I had it, just a matter of finding and scanning it. Here's the link:

Thanks a lot for this book, I read it a little bit and it's definitely useful.

Actually, this is another book by the same author, but still thanks for scanning it :)
