The Pyrotechnist's Treasury - The Complete Art of Making Fireworks
About this book
Originally published in 1878, this classic book contains a wealth of information on the subject of making fireworks, and will prove to be a very interesting read for anyone with an interest in the history of the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
