Bought these two chemistry books in Ada, Oklahoma. The old one, in the background, was published in 1901 by Rufus Williams, "Elements of Chemistry", is stained throughout with AgNO3. The yellowed paper is from this textbook. The open book was purchased new in in September, 1914, by Vernon Rollow, ECSN, "Practical Chemistry", by J.N. Roe, ScD., 1912. Vernon's handwriting is beautiful. The rest are tools of the trade.

All the elements of this photo shout 'Chemistry' to me so you have met the challenge really well, I think you should spend some time thinking about the composition though. The first thing that jumped out was the bottle of acid(?) the label really should be facing forward so we can identify exactly what it is we're looking at. You could also try limiting the amount of objects in the photo and concentrating on the strongest one and isolating this by depth of field. I know these seem like little niggles but when something doesn't quite sit right it spoils the entire effect of the photo. Hope this is some help, 5 from me.
