This is an excellent resource for those who wish to study about Tesla's experiments. The notes are highly detailed, and clearly show his attempts at transmitting electricity without wires by means of his magnifying transmitter.

Summary: "And that's all it is....notes! Cryptic and nothing else."

I have read this "book", and it is very true to its title. This is just a transcription of his thoughts, but not at all coherent, nor is there any insight provided by anyone. But all in all, it is "notes", and not much else.

Summary: "Hard Core Tesla"

The casual coiler might have difficulty extracting usable information from the text, as it is not a how to book. It is, however a great insight into Tesla's mind. There are plenty of drawings and handwritten notes to keep the reader engrossed, and thinking about his next project. The book is fairly well assembled with a few new pictures, but personally I would like to see more pictures of his lab if they are available. This book is a must have for any enthusiast or collector.

Summary: "schematics"

This is a very interesting book. It has a lot of schematics, and notes from Tesla. If you know a bit about electronics this will be a good book for you. Otherwise it might be hard for others to understand. I would say have basic electronics knowledge before getting this.

Summary: "Poor publishing, post-it notes to "correct" printing errors."

The quality of this book from the OUTSIDE looks great. The inside, however, has much to be fixed.

This NEVER should have been released to the public with such errors, and sloppy "fixing" by pasting small pieces of paper saying "this should be on page 41" and the like. Some information is missiong that SHOULD be in the book somewhere. If it is, I cant find it. Not everything is translated, and messy handwritten notes, while interesting, add nothing to the book other than nostalgia because they arent translated.

I'd love to see a book published in a dual-page format that isn't a mess like this one. I'd be willing to pay much more.

I feel I was cheated because of the price of this book.

Summary: "Worth the money - a true Tesla Tome!"

I was actually shocked when I received the book. For once someone has taken Tesla's notes, interpreted them, and put forth a true scientific understanding and explanation of his work complete with appropriate mathematical calculations. The book is hard bound and printed on the highest quality of paper and the photographs are simply superb. It is truly a book for the REAL researcher, scientist, and/or Tesla fan!

Excellent work Tesla Museum! This is a must have tome for any true Tesla-phile. It will be the envy of my collection!
