He seemed to enjoy the book and it came in perfect condition. Great purchase. I purchased this item for my boyfriend who is an aspiring inventor. Buying it from amazon was so much easier and cheaper than buying this at a bookstore.
It is a corrupted version of Tesla's autobiography titled THE STRANGE LIFE OF NIKOLA TESLA. The booklet was subsequently found to contain significant errors, omissions, revisions and also some additions that did not appear in the original 6-part serial text.Buyer beware. This is NOT Nikola Tesla's MY INVENTIONS, published in the ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTER magazine, February-June and October, 1919 issues. The original document was published in booklet form a copy of which was found in a used bookstore in 1994, transcribed, and published on the Internet.
They could have paid a bit more attention with the typography, honestly. Misspellings, capitalization errors, those are just some of the problems I encountered with this book. But if you don't mind typos, you'll probably enjoy this book, and it's a quick read. This is a well-written book and a good insight into Nikola Tesla's life. However, I was a bit upset to find that this edition is full of typos. And it's not just one typing error--it's error after error after error.
Great book it was a Christmas present for my father in law he liked the book very much and found it very intersting.
The book itself is rather short, as the font size is very large and there is only 88 pages. The content of the book is everything you would expect it to be. The spine is more of a curved edge, and has no writing, so the book doesn't look as impressive when hiding on a bookshelf.
