Garden City, Doubleday, 1984. A heavily illustrated history of fireworks, and the traditions and uses associated with them around the world. Inscribed by the author to Peter [Matthiessen] and his wife, "great pyrotechnicians both! and with dozens of aerial extravaganzas each...love - George." Minor foxing; bowing to boards; very good in a very good, spine-sunned dust jacket. [#032512] SOLD
