• 100% Outstanding Book. The Best There Is 29 April, 2008
The Preparatory Manual of Explosives is your one-stop for high quality explosives data and information. The book is full of excellent and detailed laboratory procedures for the preparation of over 160 of the worlds most widely used explosives. No other book that I know can compare to the exhaustive detail this book has. The book's chapters are arranged in specific order to give the reader a full description of the chemistry of explosives, laboratory techniques, reagents and solvents, intermediates, and explosives dynamics. Also, the book is very easy to understand, and was specifically designed for both chemists and non-chemists. The Preparatory Manual of Explosives is by far the best explosives book available, and I would recommend you checkout the authors other books, all of which contain exhaustive and precise information for every ones book collection. A super must have book for the chemist, non-chemist, amateur, pyrotechnician, and anyone with
just a curiosity to know.

• Eh, Not Too Impressed 10 April, 2008
Ok, it is encyclopedic in scope, there are thousands of compounds detailed here. My problem is that it's filled with instructions similar to this: now mix 300 grams of unicorn horn, prepared in the usual manner, with 15 grams of finely divided unobtainium, being careful not to defenestrate the mixture.
It is an interesting read, but most folks could lay hands on materials to mix up maybe five percent of the compounds listed, max. If you're a chemist this is a great book.
