Synopsis The Book of Great American Firecrackers by : Jack Nash
Including 183 color and black-and-white images of vintage photos and packaging, plus values for American firecracker collectibles, this is the first book to focus on US firecrackers. Many pyrobilia guides cover Chinese firecrackers, but the US's history is just as colorful, from fireworks' inception into American celebrations as a replacement for dangerous celebratory gun and cannon fire, until the final federal ban with the Child Protection Act of 1966. Fireworks made the 4th of July the best holiday ever, for generations of boys especially. Beginning with a brief history of the firecracker and how it came to America, the book details the types the US produced a wide array, from Cherry Bombs and Silver Salutes to Ash Cans and Torpedoes. Also covered are how the US Industrial Revolution impacted fireworks, as well as the innovations throughout the American industry, from its successes to the factory disasters."

Synopsis The Pyrotechnist's Treasury by : Thomas Kentish
The Pyrotechnist's Treasury: A Guide to Making Fireworks and Pyrotechnics A Classic Guide to the Making of Fireworks and Pyrotechnics: Includes; Roman Candles: Rockets: Tourbillions: Crackers: Maroons: Lances: Shells: Montgolfier Balloons: Winged Rockets: Bursting Fire: Starting Fire: Wheel and Fixed Case: Squib and Serpent: Pinwheel: Saxon: 'The extensive use of these colours, from their beauty and variety, for stars and lancework, has very materially altered the class of fireworks, and necessitates the employment of an enormous quantity of quick-match. The preparation of this is one of the most disagreeable parts of Pyrotechny, besides demanding a great amount of manipulative skill. Most amateurs are deterred from attempting to manufacture it, and so have to content themselves with only the simplest pieces'. If you have an interest in pyrotechnics and their history then this publication is a gold mine of information, and is a must have for fireworks enthusiasts and historians.
