Nothing new here
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.

very old patents - can be interesting
the book is an interesting collection - perhaps more valuable for evaluating spoof patents - and arcane ideas than for building any of these devices. there is probably a reason most of this has not been published. The book succeeds in vividly portraying the era after the civil war - post-modern science - and the ideas the permiated culture.

Anyone reading this is bound to have a great appreciation for Tesla - and a better understanding of the times he lived in.

Nicely condensed version of Tesla's invention
This 34 page "pamphlet" does an good job of an overview of Tesla and his ideas. It shows the progression of his ideas and also helps the reader to better understand and debunk all the junk science now being espoused concerning Tesla's theories and inventions.
