‘His memoir is a fabulous distillation of all the joy and bitterness, hurt and humour of an extraordinary man. I doubt there will be a better written, more interesting or more important book published in Scotland this year’--Daily Mail
The heavily illustrated autobiography of John Logie Baird, the central figure in the invention and development of television. His memoirs, only published previously as a specialist monograph, are written with blunt candour and caustic wit. They cover the wild escapades of his early business career and the dramatic pioneering days of his scientific work, when he transmitted the very first television pictures ever seen.
