A mine of material... Scrupulously edited... No one could ask for more... A choplicking feast for future Edison biographers--well into the next century, and perhaps beyond. --Washington Post A triumph of the bookmaker's art, with splendidly arranged illustrations, essential background information, and cautionary reminders of the common sources on which Edison's imagination drew. --New York Review of Books Beyond its status as the resource for Edison studies, providing a near inexhaustible supply of scholarly fodder, this series... will surely become a model for such projects in the future... The sheer diversity of material offered here refreshingly transcends any exclusive restriction to Edisonia. --British Journal for the History of Science For those who want to delve deeply into Edison's life and business dealings, this is another essential key to the puzzle. --The Antique Phonograph His lucidity comes through everywhere... His writing and drawing come together as a single, vigorous thought process. --New York Times In its superabundance of detail--steely facts and figures, great plates of text riveted with nouns and graffitied with cryptic drawings (Edison was an untrained but natural draftsman)--the book has the same kind of physical impact as that which stuns you when you enter his laboratory in West Orange, N.J. --New York Times Book Review In the pages of this volume Edison the man, his work, and his times come alive... A delight to browse through or to read carefully. --Science Those interested in America's technological culture can eagerly look forward to the appearance of each volume of the Edison Papers. --Technology and Culture What is most extraordinary about the collection isn't necessarily what it reveals about Edison's inventions... It's the insight into the process. --Associated Press
