As of today, it is not on Skylighter's website (except for a link to chapter 2, materials required), but if you search for "turbo pyro" on essentially any search engine you will immediately find a pdf of all 175 pages freely available, copyrighted to Skylighter in 2009. Skylighter appears to have been distributing the full manual for free at some point, for a limited time, as a promo to sell their kits.

 

I'm sure they'd sell it on its own, though it's not shown alone on their website that i saw--I'm sure they'd much rather you purchase it as part of their overpriced Turbo Pyro complete kit...

 

Love their selection, but those prices remain borderline extortive, even if it's not Harry pocketing the profit anymore...

A book about how to make pyrotechnics? I'm game, especially if it helps with safety tips (I want to make my own fireworks, but only insofar as I don't blow off my fingers, I've had enough close encounters with fireworks for a lifetime).

Rob,

 

It was written by a friend of mine (and everyone that likes fireworks) Neg Gorski. He made the book simple and as safe as it can be. All of the ingredients can be bought at Skylighter but they can also be bought at most of the vendors here as well. Give Niel from Undergroundgadgets a call and ask what he has. his prices beat most others.

 

I dont think there is a single unobtanium chemical in the lot.

David, just a small correction - it's Ned....

Skylighter have some books to download. TurboPyro is not among them though. Maybe Skylighter's big expensive ebook is the best available currently.

 

Sadly good, free and up-to-date rarely go together. Why should wise people with specialist knowledge and years of experience, give all that away for no reward?

If anyone wants to discus "rights" including copyright look at the Disney company. If you use anything to which they have rights they will sue you expensively and successfully wherever you are in the world. The only reason why private authors do not persue every plagarism of their work is cost.

 

No-one has written a free pyro chemistry book that is current, partly because the art and science evolves with time, and writing a book takes time and getting it published takes even longer.

Just downloaded it, Thanks! Though I grow increasingly worried that I have found another hobby (I really can't afford any more lol)
