New York: American Fireworks News, 2001. — 208 p.
This is the second book to bear the title THE BEST OF AFN. It contains all the "how-it-is-done" articles that appeared over the years in American Fireworks News, CMPA's Fireworks News, and even a few from Max Vander Horck's American Pyrotechnist. What makes these articles unique and worth producing into a book is that they are the procedures used today by people working in the fireworks trade, or by researchers and experimenters. Taken together, it is an extremely valuable body of information that must be preserved for future pyros.
