The Complete Art of Firework Making - The Pyrotechnist's Treasury - The famous Kentish book, a best seller for over 100 years! We've rekeyed the text & made a few changes, reprinted it full size, & improved the cover! 152 pages of great descriptions and terrific line drawings. Starts with the basics, like how to make a tube. For techniques and illustrations, this book is tops! Some of the most detailed descriptions and drawings of fireworks devices ever published. There are chapters on roman candles (extensive), rockets, stars, wheels, gerbes, tourbillions, saxons, serpents, shells, aquatic fireworks, girandolas, lancework, tools, formulations, and too much more to list here. A classic: originally published in 1878, this is a newer edition republished by American Fireworks News with revisions.
