• Great Book 31 August, 2008
This book is a nice supplement to Firecrackers: The Art and History, which takes a comprehensive look at the history of firecracker label artwork. It is just a selection of high quality pictures of the labels themselves. A fun coffee table book! Would recommend for the collector of labels or just someone like myself who appreciates the artwork in general.

• Firecrackers: An Eye-popping Collecion Of Chinese Firework Art 26 July, 2008
It's a great little book for all firecracker labels collector young and old. A must-have guide for the Chinese-made fireworks in the 20th century. It is nicely divided into various catagory of labels such as jungle animals, children, sea life, outer space, wild, wild west, bombs, architecture, flying feathers, etc. This books consists of mainly pictures only. There isn't any description. There is another book by these same authors, Dotz, Mingo, and Moyer. It's called Firecrackers, The Art and History. That book goes into more details with a little description of the label. Both books are good to have. It makes a great gift for the fireworks fan that appreciates old Chinese art.
