Hey, my name is Caleb and I have been a lurker here for quite a while. I have been reading around for a while, and from looking at all the tutorials around the internet I am sure I could make some cool pyrotechnics. The only thing is, none of them discuss saftey or common practices, and I am a very cautious and paranoid person when it comes to safety. I was wondering if anyone here would be so kind as to suggest some common and helpful books I could buy that cover compositions, applications, and anything with a emphasis on saftey techniques and practices. Thanks alot for your help, I appreciate it!

Searching the forums well should provide answers to all the questions you need. The best book by far when it comes to safety is Tom Perigrins "Introductory Practical Pyrotechnics" - and is really the first book your should read. Conkling book is NOT a great book for beginners but I'll back Ron Lancaster book any time (altough some compositions in the later have safer alternatives).
Note - really - there is vast information about how beginners should approach on the forums - and if is most recommended that you will search topic containing the words "beginners", "beginning", "safety", “books” and such. Try not to restart duplicate topic or re-discuss things that were already covered in the past. Duplicates are not appreciated.
