(More customer reviews)Ballooning Book Takes Readers up, up and away!
Maybe it was the photograph of the cow jumping over the moon; or several balloons cheek-by-jowl, jockeying for position during competition.
Somewhere in George Denniston's "The Joy of Ballooning" (Courage Books) it became clear that thrills, cameraderie, humor, creativity and competition are all part of the ballooning experience.
Imagine floating over the Snohomish Valley, or trying to be the first to float three miles to snag the keys of a pickup that are attached to a 30-foot-high pole, or taking your wedding vows in a sky-high ceremony.
Denniston offers an overview of ballooning, from history and physics to extreme ballooning, special shapes and festivals.
