A book in a box! differant. Looks smart, and you find yourself with a kite from the start. The book doesn't dwell too long on history but does point out relevant aspects of the past, then gets down to the nesseccary information that we all need to know to fly a stunt kite properly and safely (something thats too easly forgoten). The plans, while I've not built any, are easy to follow that my son (aged 11) is keen to have a go at - if I can trust him with a sewing machine! Details of where to get the materials could have been a little more explicit, like some names of shops, or some internet web addresses, but I accept this could be difficult regards showing preferances. I found it good to read, reminding me(an experianced kite flyer) of some points. I would recommend this to anyone wishing to learn stunt kite building for themselves to go for this book. Just one question though; Why, when this book is about two line kites, does it come with a single line kite?
