Din, F.: The thermodynamic functions of gases, Vol. 1, Ammonia, Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide; Vol. 2, Air, Propane, Acetylene, Ethylene, Argon. London: Butterworth 1956. — A critical compilation of all the experimental results presented in the form of smoothed tables and graphs. It covers all three phases for each pure substance.
Justi, E.: Spezifische Wärme, Enthalpie, Entropie und Dissoziation technischer Gase. Berlin: Springer 1938. — This book covers the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of perfect gases from quantum theory, and the empirical calculation of the properties of real gases. It includes many tables of results.
Keesom, W. H.: Helium, Chap. 2. Amsterdam: Elsevier 1942. This chapter gives experimental details of, for example, the Leiden gas-apparatus, which are relevant to gases other than helium. There is a discussion of the velocity of sound in an imperfect gas and of the use of helium in gas thermometers.

National Bureau of Standards: Tables of Thermal Properties of Gases, Circular 564 (ed. J. Hilsenrath and others). Washington 1955. — These tables cover air, argon, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and steam. The maximum pressure is only 100 atm but the temperature range is extended to temperatures up to 3000 K by making theoretical, but reliable, extrapolations.
