Strongly suggest that you buy a reputed hard copy book as a starter. Look in abebooks.co.uk for authors Lancaster and Shimizu, keywords Fireworks and separately Pyrotechnics. Look also for Weingart's book, pyrotechnics. A St.H Brock was a competent author and additionally wrote very readable books about the fireworks trade and his family firm of the same name. -there is one of his books on ebay atm (Apr 09)

Most of the available ebooks are second tier authors or less well regarded books, or books closer to the military uses of energetic materials. Also pirate ebooks scanned from in copyright books deprive the authors and publishers of the funds to print the next books.
