5.0 out of 5 stars Can't believe this has been so overlooked!, 21 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Great book describing the process that led to the invention of television... told largely by Logie himself (with the exception of the final chapter), it is not so much the story of television, but rather that of a journey through a rather interesting life.

If you think of JL Baird only in terms of TV, you're missing perhaps some of the most interesting chapters of his life - I now have visions of him lurching along the prom in oversized boots containing balloons (pneumatic soles!), selling the "Baird Undersock" and fighting off swarms of insects at a tropical jam factory... much more entertaining!

A great book and one you should read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!!, 1 Feb 2009
By M. Lowrie (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an unusual gem of a book.
Baird fully describes the process leading to television but, more interestingly, gives great insights into his earlier work- much it frankly bizarre!
This is a lovely book- offering a great insight into the mind of an eccentric inventor!
