Great Complicated Kites

I bought this book after I had purchased the magnificent book of kites. This book has great big kites which are more complicated than the magnificent book of kites. So, if you have experience building kites this is the book you need.

Great butterfly and bird kites!

Detail designs for frames and sails, including excellant directions on assembly and decorating. 19 designs give lots of ideas for more. My favorites: Tiger Swallowtail, Dragonfly and Albatross.
