 A concise and comprehensive recipe book of firecrackers Dec 08, 1998
This little paperback is an excellent introduction to the making of your own firecrackers. Divided into a dozen or so chapters, each dealing with a different kind of cracker from a particular country or period in time, the descriptions of how to assemble the devices are extremely lucid with simple, well-drawn diagrams. The book only covers firecrackers, though, so if you're looking for a more general introduction to the multitude of different pyrotechnic devices that exist, this probably isn't your best bet. If indeed it's crackers specifically you want to know about, or if you're just starting out with pyrotechny and want to experiment with a few very simple, satisfying fireworks, this is an excellent read.

Want to make fireworks without killing yourself? Aug 01, 2000
By Mike Hunt
This is probably the best book in world when it comes to the assembly of ground salutes (with the execption of the aierial bomb). I especially reccommend this book to novice pyrotechnists, as all the formulas on the book are accurate and come with appropriate warning. Unlike books like the anarchists cook book, this book is not for the suicidal.

Good, easy to understand, interesting!! Mar 17, 1999
This book contains the detail in the composition of the fireworks - fire crackers. The procedures are easy to understand and clear. The book also provides useful information about the improvement of making fireworks. This book is really great for people who are interested in fireworks!!

Almost Perfect Mar 12, 1998
By jrhjr@ix.netcom.com
A great book that left out almost no detail of the secrets behind the manufacture of the fireworks many of us grew up with. Congratulation for including so much safety information as well as the original formulas for those interested in historic authenticity. The nice addition was newer safer compostions given when they could be substituted. Other than wishing the author went into more detail on ball milling all my questions were answered. This is defintely not an irresponsible cook book for disatser. Well done.

Informative Jul 07, 2006
By T. Williams
"noodles"
First, it must be noted that the mixtures were found to be of a simplified approach. The information is reflective of information contained in other more Advanced Pyrotechnic Texts, but it must be noted that there is not much information about the theory and science behind the blast effect. This is extremely important when dealing with such dangerous compounds. The author acknowledges this and refers the reader to other text for study. This is not to be ignored. If the reader obtains a thourough knowledge of this subject, this book is very informative. This book is precise and accurate.
