Subject: FS: book

From: Brad Thompson <brad.thompson@...>

Hello--

I'm offering FS one only copy of "My Life With The Printed Circuit", by
Paul Eisner, 1st edition, published
in June, 1989, Lehigh University Press, Bethlehem, PA., 170 pp., ISBN:
0-934223-04-1

Condition of this EX-LIBRARY book rates as "very good"-- there's no dust
jacket, the boards' corners are
bumped and slightly shelfworn, and the usual library markings and card
pocket are present. The binding
is tight and there are no markings or underlinings.

Born in 1907, Paul Eisler emigrated to England from Austria in 1936,
where it became clear that
Austrian fascists were persecuting people of Jewish ancestry. In
England, he was briefly interned
before WW II began. His invention-- the printed circuit-- was picked up
by the U.S. and used in
proximity fuses. All told, Eisler received over 100 patents in the U.K.
and U.S. for diverse
designs, including electrically-heated wallpaper, variable capacitors,
and foil-electrode storage batteries.
Later chapters in this autobiography discuss the patent system and the
challenges of being an inventor.

I'm asking $27.00, which includes USPS media-mail postage to U.S. addresses.

PayPal honored, questions welcomed.

Thanks, and 73--
