So, what's Mellor's? It is not something like Brauer's
Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry. It's not something full of tables of data. It covers a lot of ground, and gives a few concise details. Though you will wish that there was more detail from some of the references, and no mention of quite a few others. Still, I thought it was worth uploading here...It is a fully referenced review of the chemical literature, from the beginning.
So is
Gmelin's. But the only larger books in the library not in the journal stacks are
Beilstein and the federal codes. The good parts are in German. It is different than Gmelin's in a good way.
If you still have preparative/property questions after reading the posts in the forum FAQ, this book may give you some hints.
Three supplements to this volume have been made. N in '64 and '67 (1373 pages) and P in '71 - 1477 pages. If you think that this download contained little useful to you, the supplement is worse. But I should say that there are a couple pages of interest in the supplement, for elemental P production - many metal phosphates have been reduced with H2 at reasonable temps. That's not a secret, but not mentioned much.
