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.

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.
