Also, Reddit apparently decided that linking to the Amazon page for this book is taboo (a comment containing such a link will be subtly invisible to other users). Which makes it strange for another reason!
At least Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants for Silicon-29, a bargain at $7295, has probably been read, and even written, by a human being.
There are some of the greatest reviews I have ever read for this book on amazon

This review is from: Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants for Silicon-29 (Landolt-Börnstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series / Condensed Matter) (Hardcover)
I'm a big fan of the NMR genre, but this book was really just phoned in. I mean, "Chemical Shifts of P-31 Compounds" had me on the edge of my seat, and "Hyperfine Coupling Constants of the Pnictogens" had a little something for everybody. I can say this with the conviction that only comes with love when I say that "Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants for Silicon-29" is total crap.
It appeals to the lowest common denominator for cheap thrills when it should be striving to elevate the level of discourse. I mean, did we really need to slog through an entire chapter where Dr. Gupta describes, in agonizing detail, the time he took the spectra of two samples at the same time? He's probably the kind of guy who'll put his sample into a dirty NMR tube his friend just used, too. I actually went to the bathroom and washed my hands after putting this book down; I probably have hepatitis now.
I've come to expect much more from Landolt-Bornstein, and sincerely hope Si-29 was a fluke and not a portent of future editions. Is it too much to ask for another volume of the same quality as "Hydrogen - Old, But Still Knows How to Rock".
I'm sure it's the quality of the illustrations that really make the book.
One of my favourite textbooks: http://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Coupling-Constants-Silicon-29-Landolt-B%C3%B6rnstein/dp/354045277X and this was my only source for a presentation, because no one else seems to be interested in Si-NMR... thank god the theoretical part was available online for free.
