5 out of 5 stars WOW! This book flys like a magnificent kite.   January 8, 1999
 7 out of 9 found this review helpful

Being an avid kite-lover since childhood, I was able to get a deeper and truer understanding of the art and spectrum of kites through Eden's vision. What a splendid and unique aproach to this time-honored tradition. Time to go fly a kite!


5 out of 5 stars Great book about Kites and kite flying!   December 6, 1998
 12 out of 12 found this review helpful

This excellent book is a revised edition of Maxwell's best-seller "Kiteworks." The book contains new information about kites and the Web, creating kites using your computer, and a comprehensive materials directory for kite builders, plus resources and events about the new sport of kite-powered craft. The Magnificant Book of Kites is a winner!


4 out of 5 stars This book is a nice reprint of Kiteworks   April 29, 1998
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book has a much better layout than Kiteworks, a 1989 book by Maxwell Eden. The plans are a little more oraganized. The only new material is the section that compares kitemaking materials. I think the overall flow is good and it provides a good introduction to making kites.


4 out of 5 stars Warning same book as Kiteworks : Explorations in Kite...   April 28, 1998
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is a fine book, but it is a republishing of Kiteworks : Explorations in Kite Building and Flying, publish in 1989. I like the layout of this book better then the original, but except for the appendix there is no additional content. Maxwell Eden covers much of ground with what up in kiting, his presentation is dry but comprehensive.
