I have two buyer's guides; one that is free and one that requires a membership fee.

You can download the free version by clicking on the picture of it at left, or just click this. It is a 5.7 Mb file in PDF format. It contains descriptions of 3,855 fireworks up through the year 2010. Thus it is somewhat out of date, but you are free to download it and even send the file to anyone else, as long as the file is left intact and not edited.

You can visit the membership site by clicking on the picture of it at left, or just click this. It is a searchable database of 6,851 fireworks including 1,826 product photos and 776 video clilps. A membership costs $14.95 per year. The site is updated from time to time, but is not really current with the newest fireworks for 2013.

Special offer: If you buy a membership in this site, you get 1 year of membership AND you will receive by email the set of 8 issues of my PYRO Magazine from 1998-1999 in PDF format. I will activate your membership and send you the set as a .zip archive (17.6 Mb).
