Dan Poynter Libri

The Parachute Manual, A Technical Treatise on Aerodynamic Decelerators by Dan Poynter covers everything there is to know about the packing, rigging, alterations, design, repairs, materials, regulations, manufacture, specifications, loft layout, rigging tools, all the personnel parachute assemblies and parts with change notices and much, much more. The Manual, known as the Bible to parachute riggers everywhere, is in use by all branches of the US Armed Services, the Forest Service and many foreign governments. Now two volumes are available as a set. The Parachute Manual, Volume I, by Dan Poynter. Covers all parachutes through 1984 plus historical information, "round" canopies and US military parachutes.

The Self-Publishing Manual, more effectively and successfully than any other book, has turned writers with an idea into successful authors with books by providing solid, usable information in clear, concise, readable lanugage. This is not the stuff of theory, it is the product of hard-earned experience.

This perennial bestseller has been revised to include online delivery of books, print on demand, CD publishing, and email promotion. Twelve chapters provide guidance on everything from writing to publicity to distribution, with one chapter devoted to technology.
