A Phenomenal Pyrotechnics Guide by Darya Tyshlek (Olathe, KS USA)  5 Stars
May 26, 2009
A Professional's Guide to Pyrotechnics is everything a novice or a professional would desire. There are several explanations about how to build different fire crackers as well as interesting facts about the history of each firework. The book does a good job of explaining safety procedures and rules for making fireworks. I really enjoyed working with this small but useful book.

Fills holes by Jeff W.  4 Stars
November 14, 2008
This book does a good job of filling the "holes" that at least the newer editions of "firework classics" such as Fireworks Principles and Practice have in them when it comes to exploding fireworks (noisemakers). Oddly enough Amazon offered this book when I was purchaseing Fireworks Principles and Practice. The author here is very big on safety. I think this book makes a very good addition to the classic Fworks by Lancaster especically seeing as how the latest edtion of that work has a poo-poo atttitude to noisemakers and exploding fworks. Otherwise it too is an excellent book and it is easy to see why it has gone on to a 3rd editon.
