This is an amazing guide to anyone breaking into advanced high-power rocketry. It is abundant in knowledge that is not easy to find online in regards to constructing and launching your high-power rocket. This is an intense and expensive hobby, so this book is an amazing investment.

A solid book to learn about high power rocketry, covering many aspects of design, building, safety, motors, and launching, . The reader is assumed to be knowledgeable in some fundamentals learned in low power, so if you never flown, read Stine's handbook first.

One big missing subject is fiberglass. While it is mentioned in a number of chapters for increasing strength in critical areas, there are no descriptions for techniques. This subject deserves a chapter or two, with details for tubes, fins, and tip to tip techniques.

Kindle edition nearly unreadable due to formatting errors. Some content out of date. I stopped after Level 1 building chapter, might go back to later material if I ever choose to pursue more advanced high power rocketry.
