Written by Edison’s longtime assistant and read through by the inventor himself, this life follows Thomas Edison from a curious Ohio and Michigan boyhood to selling newspapers on trains, roaming as a telegraph operator, and building the laboratories that produced the phonograph, the incandescent lamp and much more. Many passages are in Edison’s own words.

An authorised, anecdote-rich life that will appeal to young tinkerers and inventors. Download the free EPUB.
