Inorganic chemistry handbook with reaction lists
$begingroup$
There is a handy handbook on common inorganic substances' properties called "Reactivity of Inorganic Substances" (eds. R. A. Lidin, V. A. Molochko, and L. L. Andreeva). It was originally written in Russian and then translated into English (see the review here). The entries in this handbook go like this (sorry for the Russian, couldn't find the English version):
You see that the compound's name is followed by the brief summary of its physical properties (color, solubility in water), general notes on its stability under ambient atmosphere, and then the list of the chemical reactions which were considered by the authors to be the most important or illustrative for this particular substance.
The question is - are there any handbooks you can recommend that are similar to this one, with not only the summary of the physical properties, but the summary of possible chemical reactions as well, or is this book one-of-a-kind?

@M.Farooq They translated it again? There was an English edition already in the first quarter of the last century. I love these books which, to avoid making them in two or even three volumes, are printed on this very fine, thin paper, like telephone books, or bibles.

An Intro in Russian edition of Reactivity of Inorganic Substances by Lidin et al. claims its uniqueness:
Настоящее пособие носит информационно-справочный характер, не имеет аналогов в отечественной и зарубежной химической литературе, охватывает все разделы неорганической химии, изучаемые в химических вузах.
(English) This reference handbook has no analogues among domestic and foreign chemical literature, covers all inorganic chemistry sections studied in university chemistry course.
However, Turova's Inorganic Chemistry in Tables comes pretty close.
It doesn't only list reactions per element groups, but also arranges them in visual blocks; available both in Russian and English [1, 2]:

There is Holleman-Wiberg, an originally German (the very first edition was actually dutch, in 1898) compendium of biblical size, including a ~5-20 page chapter on every main group and side group element, with properties and reactions for most all simple inorganic compounds. And of course the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.
