Handbook of Model Rocketry

Awesome Informative book. This is the Bible of Model Rocketry.

I've only been through a couple of chapters so far.

Great book has lots of information

OK, but more of a history of model rocketry than a guide.

Very informative and interesting coverage of the model rocketry hobby by G. Harry Stine and his son Bill. With strong emphasis on safety and a bit of wry wit, this nice handbook is accessible to both weekend enthusiasts and more technically inclined readers. Based on the authors' literal generations of experience actively participating in model rocketry, this book is a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to gain an understanding of the model rocketry hobby. Logically organized chapters cover topics such as construction techniques, rocket motor design and thrust characteristics, launching systems and procedures, rocket stability, multi-staging, recovery devices, and much more. Anyone with an enduring interest in model rocketry will probably return to this book again and again.

An engineer friend remembers this book when it was originally issued... great to have one...thanks!
