Shameless plug alert!
8 years has gone by since I released Firework Art, but now I have a new book out called FIRE Fascination, Firework and Festival
I am releasing the book first as a FREE pdf e-book, to reach the widest possible audience. A print edition is planned for later in the year (subject to enough interest to cover the costs.)
About the book
FIRE is 109 pages, with 286 illustrations.
I have created the e-book edition to look beautiful on iPad and other similar tablets.
FIRE explores how an ancient Pagan festival has given rise to Halloween and Bonfire Night, two of our most evocative and lasting celebrations. The book looks at gunpowder, and how it helped shape the surface of our planet as well as give us the mesmerising world of pyrotechnics. It looks too at how history has taken Guy Fawkes from being a hated villain to being the icon of the digital age and the grinning face of Firework Night. Remembered too are the companies of a lost industry that once made November their own.
