Review
The information in this little gem is hard to come by... patents, also interesting tidbits about Tesla himself. --Technica, the newsletter of Powell's Technical Bookstore, summer, 2000
About the Author
. Once an editor of a series of conventional electronics textbooks for the schools, Trinkaus admits that he never understood how electricity really works until he studied Tesla. He is also author of Tesla Coil; Son of Tesla Coil, Radio Tesla, and is editor of Tesla's The True Wireless (the Tesla Technology Series from High Voltage Press.) The Tesla Mystique is Trinkaus' popular on-line critique of the sentimentalized popular culture of Tesla.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not what I expected,
By Alan Helmick (Germanton, NC, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tesla : The Lost Inventions (Paperback)
Having studied Tesla a great deal and always being excited about finding new information I was highly disappointed by what I received.
It was not a book but 15 sheets of paper printed, folded and stapled in the middle to comprise a 30+ page pamphlet that lacked in detail, substance and anything that cannot be easily reviewed over the internet. The information was not about any "lost" inventions but skimmed the surface of some of Tesla's more notable patents and gave some inaccurate descriptions of their function. This booklet contains less information than my college essay on the subject of Tesla (aside from the tiny patent photos) and in comparison to other literature about Tesla, is limited. This booklet would be good for a small child who is interested in skimming information about Tesla, without really digging in or learning anything below the surface. For those that want more detailed information I was able to purchase The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla ISBN 978-0-932813-19-0 for around $9 on Amazon and it contains over 300 pages of data and Tesla's own hand also.

Waste of money,

This review is from: Tesla : The Lost Inventions (Paperback)
Don't waste your time or money on this "book" - it's nothing more than a photocopied pamphlet stapled together, and the information is poorly organized and written.

Nothing new here,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tesla : The Lost Inventions (Paperback)
In reading this, I found it to be a rehash of information freely available on the Internet. I had hoped for more.
It feels like I paid to have someone gather and print it out for me.
