Title: Very Poor Theodore Case Book
Review: Simplistic and childish and lacking so much information about Case and the development of sound-on-film movies, it isn't even funny. This book isn't even worth $2.00.The fight with DeForest is totally missing in any detail, since DeForest tried to cheat Case and embezzled his funds. DeForest was a self serving liar, stock swindler, cheat and desperate for any publicity all his life. Claimed inventions, like Case's, as his own for stock sales purposes.Other books on the era, "Speed of Sound" and others, had the detailed information, why not in this book too? DeForest did not invent sound-on-film as his biographers claim, Case was far ahead of him with a superior system that gave much better sound reproduction.Photo content is the absolute minimum, should have had a lot more.A cheap sleazy book and does Case no credit at all. He deserves a lot better than this one.Very disappointing and returned to Amazon as just not good enough for the price.
