This book was printed in 1995. That's the reason for this book. Over 1000 consumer fireworks are listed and described in it. This is not a catalog which you buy fireworks from - it is a buyer's guide, kind of like Consumer Reports, only about fireworks. Listed in this book are the colors, sounds and special effects you'll get from each device, along with each item's duration time and height.
Every firework is rated for quality, including a brief verbal description.
Special sections cover buying fireworks, using them safely and planning a memorable fireworks show. Like you and I, Bob loves Class C and it shows. On a scale of one to ten I rate it a ten. You don't know what joy you have brought to my husband. I thought he was the only one that was crazy.
