Review of: Black Powder Manufacturing, Testing, and Optimizing – Ian von Maltitz

Black Powder Manufacturing, Testing, and Optimizing
Ian von Maltitz

Review by J Bergman

As Mr. von Maltitz states in the preface, this work is not merely a second edition of his earlier book, Black Powder Manufacture, Methods and Techniques, as reviewed in Journal of Pyrotechnics No. 7 (Summer 1998). Despite similarities in its content and organization, the new book has been overhauled from cover to cover and has been greatly expanded. This rewriting reflects recent changes in approaches to smallscale powder making and testing methods, as well as a substantial body of new practical knowledge.
