When somebody says go fly a kite, ask “what kind?” and whip out this total kite book. There are plans for more than 100 different kites from all over the world, complete with very detailed construction instruction. Perhaps more interesting is the historical section (kites go back 2500 years) showing an astounding variety of designs: passenger carrying models from Alexander Graham Bell and Buffalo Bill, Japanese kite club monsters 48 x 36 feet, and a host of other models amazing and bizarre.
