I have been working with the Zambelli family for a very long time an everything that was said in this book is the truth an very accurate, the only oyther state i can make is that the world lost on of the greatest man it has ever seen when we lost George he was even more than this book could ever explain when it came to working for him he was the best!!!!! there is ,was an never will be anyone like him ever in this great world !!! the wwhole Zambelli family are the defination of class they will do anything when you say a family this is the greaest complaint we coulg give them they have givin this world so much an still do . as a review of this book well I am not all the best at doing this but when you know the family all I can say please give us more that family is one on the gerat ones in this world!!!!!!

Since I was a little girl I looked forward to any event, holiday or occasion that would feature fireworks. Just ike jewelry for the sky, fireworks adorn the clouds and stars and make them appear even more splendid than they are already.

How fun to learn not only about the people who bring these shows to us-- but what goes into putting them together.

It is like being at a broadway show and getting a chance to peek behind the curtain.

I enjoyed the friendly, family flabor of the book and will surely look to the sky with new insight during my next fireworks experience.

The world renowned Zambellis seem to me to be such a modest group of people for, all their success, and class. I learned a lot about this family through this biography which is outstanding. The characters are drawn real; the pictures are magnificine; the writing is exceptional...even the recipes seem good. Great book!

Exceptional writing, an interesting family, colorful photos, and recipes for every holiday make this book an excellent one. I bought a couple for Christmas gifts. I don't think anyone has explained fireworks and the people behind them as well as this book does.

My family and I loved this book. We thought it might be too technical but instead it was a joy and gave lots of good info on the fireworks business and a very interesting family.

This is more than a biography of a famous familyl it's a history of pyrotechnics which also explains the manufacturing and exhibiting of fireworks. It even has holiday recipes that correlate with fireworks. Well written. Interesting family.

When you find a good book you need to treasure it. This one on the Zambelli family has to be first choice. I like how the author combined an extraordinary family's life with the history, techniques and manufacturing of fireworks. Everything is exceptional about this book, and the writing is enjoyable.

Everything about this book is good: The writing, the Zambelli family, the history on fireworks, the manufacturing of fireworks, and even the fireworks recipes. This is worth every penny I paid. I'm giving it to my husband for Christmas.

Zambelli: The First Family Of Fireworks is the success story of one of America's most successful immigrant families and its flourishing business so closely associated with major American holidays and celebratory events. Tracing the Italian roots of the Zambelli family, as well as the prestige and beauty of their colorful displays during traditional and holiday celebrations, Zambelli: The First Family Of Fireworks is an engaging, informative, and entertaining success story which is especially recommended reading for fireworks buffs.

I loved everything about this book: From the family history to the manufacturing of fireworks, to how to display them, their history...right up to the recipes. I bought this for my wife for Christmas because of the recipes (yeah, sure), but it is a fantastic biography. The author did truly good job! The Zambelli family is incredible.
