Summary: Informative
Rating: 5

First, it must be noted that the mixtures were found to be of a simplified approach. The information is reflective of information contained in other more Advanced Pyrotechnic Texts, but it must be noted that there is not much information about the theory and science behind the blast effect. This is extremely important when dealing with such dangerous compounds. The author acknowledges this and refers the reader to other text for study. This is not to be ignored. If the reader obtains a thourough knowledge of this subject, this book is very informative. This book is precise and accurate.

Summary: Good basic beginners book
Rating: 4

Lots of good basic recipes that work. Just be careful of some of the mixtures. They can become unstable.
