Poorly Written,

This review is from: The Inventor of Stereo: The Life and Works of Alan Dower Blumlein (Paperback)
While Alan Blumlein may have had an interesting life you'd be hard pressed to know it from a reading of this book. It is without a doubt the most poorly written biography I have ever read. It's more of a listing of facts and patent specifications than the telling of the story of a man's life. Seriously, does the reader need to be told, twice within the first 30 or so pages, that Wireless World went from being a weekly publication to a monthly one on a specific date? I don't think so. In the hands of a decent biographer this may have been an interesting story but the author of this book fails miserably. If you are an honest-to-god Blumlein geek you may find this useful in the way that a J.C. Whitney catalog at one time proved useful to owners of '57 Chevys but if you're looking for a good read try something else.
