I think the book referred to is The Scientific American Book of Projects for the Amateur Scientist by C. L. Stong (no "r' in Stong) I too used to just read it - great book. It's a collection of some of "The Amateur Scientist" columns by Stong from Scientific American magazine. Unfortunately it's out of print and used copies can be a bit pricey or hard to find. There is a great deal available, however - a complete collection of all of "The Amateur Scientist" columns ever published on a CD for $27. If anyone is interested, the link is
