"For many years Weingart's 'Pyrotechnics' has been regarded as the amateur firework enthusiast's Bible, and it was news of the re-print of this work in 1968 which prompted the writer to suggest a revision of it. As it happened the suggestion came too late with the result that a new work has evolved." 274 pages; 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 ".
