Old Television
by Emmerson, Andrew
Andrew Emmerson is a writer and researcher on technological subjects and has been acutely aware of the fascination of television since watching "The Flowerpot Men" at a very tender age during the early 1950s. When he is not writing and broadcasting on the subject of today's high-tech wizardry, he enjoys discovering the history of the inventions which came before this, also restoring and reviving equipment based on these older technologies. He is the author of Old Telephones, also published by Shire, and has written books on other engineering subjects.

Review this book!
On Sep 29, 2010, Tobytail said
A really neat book, written by somebody who (a) has a love for his subject and (b) who knows what he's talking about. Profusely illustrated, full of information, this updated edition is well worth the price.
