Improvised Munitions Handbook
Department of Defense
Pentagon Publishing, 2004
Awesome
This book is jam-packed with interesting pyrotechnic expertise. I have to admit that you would have to be completely insane to do half of the things in here, but there are quite a few that are relatively sane for backyard experimentation. Great buy.
