About This Item
New York: Doubleday & Company Inc., 1960. Thomas B. Costain has written a detailed and personalized account of how Alexander Graham Bell made his great invention. How the idea came to Bell - the difficulties he had in securing a patent; the first dramatic and conclusive test with wires set up between Brantford and nearby towns in Ontario; and immediate results of that experiment are all described by Mr. Costain. This book is not the full story of the invention nor is it a biography but to relate a few eventful years which began with the arrival of the Bell family in Brantford, Ontario and all that culminated in that very important span of time. Foreword by the author. Sixteen informative and interesting chapters. A section of photographs on heavier semi-gloss stock is provided. A bright book in a price-clipped, bright photo dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Alexander Graham Bell + Canadiana + Inventor + Telephone Invention + Brantford Ontario + History + Biography + Scotland + NOISBN.
