Great book to get you started in model rocketry.
If you have any questions about model rocketry chances are this book has your answer. Though the book is geared mostly towards the beginner and weekend hobby side of the sport, it is still filled with information you can use. A very easy book to read and understand, it is a great starting point. I would say this book is a must read for any one who is thinking about getting into the sport of model rocketry.

Great for beginners of any age.
A very good introduction to building and flying model rockets Safely. "Technical" concepts are presented in terms simple enough for curious adolescents or teenagers to easily understand, and then expanded further to satisfy the interest of novice adults. Perfect starting point for both the hobby of model rocketry, and later deeper study of numerous related topics like basic physics, aerodynamics, electronics, aerial photography ect. A fun and educational book.
