This is a good book if you're interested in the history of kites. It doesn't contain detailed construction plans, because it's not a 'make your own' type of book. It's a history. But it's an enjoyable one to read. It's not a dry, textbook-style history that only a college professor could appreciate. It's written in a relaxed style for the enjoyment of the average person. It's simple enough that kids can read it, but detailed enough to make it interesting for adults. Well-illustrated with black and white photos and drawings.
My copy is an old library discard, but it's still in great shape. The binding shows no signs of coming apart, and it looks like it will last forever. A testament to the sturdy contruction of hardcover books from several decades ago.
Some of the prices being asked by some sellers are ridiculous, considering there are plenty of copies available for much more reasonable prices.
A good book overall. Definitely recommended for the bookshelf of the kite enthusiast.
