First edition. Foreword by John L. Baird. Octavo. pp xxiv, 130, 32 adverts. Photographs, including some of the "Baird televisor". One of the pioneering works on a medium that clearly had little future. Seeking publicity, Baird visited the Daily Express newspaper to promote his invention. The news editor was terrified and he was quoted by one of his staff as saying: "For God's sake, go down to reception and get rid of a lunatic who's down there. He says he's got a machine for seeing by wireless! Watch him he may have a razor on him."Some off-setting onto the covers from the pictorial dustwrapper. Edges faintly spotted. Very good in the rare dustwrapper which is good only, being heavily dusty, rubbed and chipped.
