  Why I like Ebay
Review created: 04/02/09

I think Ebay is a really great thing to come along, instead of old time things being thrown out, filling the dumps, it puts these otherwise unwanted articles in the hands of people, who collect them, and preserve there history. Anything, from vacuum tubes, to gas powered models. These are not in great enough demand to be produced anymore. People are playing video games, instead of building with their hands, and getting outdoors. The presevation of history, is important. I must include, that a lot of things, such as BB guns, are not illegal to mail, or to own. There are thousands of people that collect these, and because of ebays over strict, California (where everythings illegal) rules, many things are not able to be traded. A loss of income for Ebay, and collectors, and future generations of collectors. I imagine this opinion of mine has nullified, the great aspects of Ebay, I have written. What a shame you make the entire county run on California's rediculous policies.

  Firecrackers by George Moyer, Jack Mingo, Warren Dotz
Review created: 03/04/08

An out of print softcover, this book contains history and art of the common firecracker in a pleasent to read format.
Loaded with quality color scans of original and hard to find firecracker labels from the past to more recent times, concise histories, methods of construction and how fireworks were influenced by, and in turn had influence upon popular culture.
From quotes by Marco Polo, recognised as the first Westerner to see Chinese firecrackers in use, to what boys spent their coveted pocket change on during the early days of American-Chinese trade. this book is a fine item to add to the library of history buffs, art collectors and the common July Fourth pyromaniac.
Large quality softbound book by Tenspeed Press. 136 pages.
