Conot - who wrote Streak of Luck was a general author. That was the only book he wrote on Edison. I did meet him at the Edison Site in West Orange when he was researching it. Paul Israel had access to ALL of Edison's papers and has been head of the Papers Project for more than a dozen years It is also the most recent. Personally I rank Israel then Cont and then Neil Baldwin (another "general" author). Ogf course the first lengthy one was by Matthew Josephson - but that was more of an "authorized" bio. Anyway, if no one wants the cassettes - I'll donate to the library. Steve In a message dated 1/27/2013 2:35:53 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
I found this book from Audible as well. If anyone knows, how does this compare to the 1978 biography called A Streak Of Luck? Thanks a lot. Matthew _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
