Description en anglais Product’s description : Serge d’Ignazio is a major specialist in boomerang history, acknowledged throughout the world. As from the age of 10, the subject became his main hobby and passion and, over the years, he has built up a remarkable collection of objects and archives that as not only become a source of reference for the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, but has also been listed by the State Library of Victoria in Australia. He has published many articles in the press and has often been filmed or interviewed for television and radio ; he is an inexhaustible source of information for students, research workers and journalists. This book is intended for inquisitive of mind, but also for professionals and collectors. It makes reference to documents that have rarely or never been published and, because the visual aspect of the boomerang is so essential, a wide variety of photos and drawings is included in order to illustratethe many different forms this mysterious object can take on, with its surprising, unusual and sometimes strange decorations. The author offers a hoard of information and tips on how to get communicating with fellow boomerang lovers, how to search for printed matter in second-hand bookshops and junk shops and how to buy an authentic item. He also indicates various magazines, specialized websites, manufacturers and auction rooms. For those who want to know more about this extraordinary object, famous not only for its return flight, but also for its history, and which this book helps us to appreciate, a very detailed bibliography, making reference to works in several languages, is included.
