This is not a very good book. It is simply a reprint of Tesla's early writings with some added comments and packaged to look like a new book. If you are interested in the subject, look for The Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla, which is a much better book with a lot of good info.

Lately, I have been trying to read everything I can on Tesla. I was intrigued by a special on one of the television networks. I had heard of Tesla before but didnt realize that he had accomplished so much in his life, or that he was fascinated with the signals he claimed to be receiving from outer space (possibly the planet Mars he thought). For this reason, you can imagine my disappointment on trying to gain any new knowledge from the pages of this tome. There is absolutely nothing new here. Its not even put together in a presentable format.Oh well, maybe others will get into this work. I guess I just could not!

Nothing to complain about as far as the contents; it's an interesting hodge-podge of articles by or about Tesla. What I didn't like about the book was the bizzare typesetting and the poor reproduction quality of the photos. The photos are noticeably pixelated and low resolution; it almost looks like the photos were badly scanned jpegs taken off a website! Over half the book is set in ALL CAPS using a monotype font. Weird.

In The Tesla Papers, David Childress has compiled the writings of Nikola Tesla into a comprehensive, informative, and down right fascinating volume of material that provides background and insight into Tesla's amazing inventions. Divided into seven parts the reader is treated to Tesla: Humanitarian; The Problem of Increasing Human Energy; The Wireless Transmission of Power; Tesla's Electric Car; The Tesla Papers; Tesla's FBI Files; The Marconi-Tesla Trial Transcripts. The Tesla Papers is enhanced with some of the papers on Tesla's thoughts and work regarding wireless power, anti-gravity, robotics, free energy, advanced solar power system, patents, and material collected on Tesla at the Colorado Springs Tesla Symposium. The Tesla Papers is a "must" for all Nikola Tesla enthusiasts, as well as students of alternative science, iconoclastic technology, and suppressed history.

In this companion to The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla we have another collection of Tesla-related material. Only one article is by Tesla (the other book has more). The others are musings on Tesla and his technology and their implications. Basiclly this book was made by trolling the internet for stuff. Good for Tesla fanatics. For those looking for an excellent Tesla bio, see Tesla: Man Out of Time.

Thank you for this wonderful book. I appreciate your speedy delivery and great quality of books.
