A Must Have Pyrotechnic Manual For The Enthusiast.
Reverend Lancaster's book is an extensive look at early 20th century pyrotechnic arts and though formulae are somewhat dated the processes and devices are still used and are carefully explained. Much was updated in later editions but everyone wants a first for their collection!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
