About This Item
(Cape Town, HAUM, 1973). 8vo; original orange boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper rubbed and very slightly edgeworn; mild browing to endpapers; frontispiece and black-and-white photographic illustrations; pp. 160. Good condition. "John Logie Baird, the Scot who invented television, is here presented as seen by the South African musician who was his wife. Here are the ideas and emotions of a dedicated inventor as he penetrated the world of big business, all described by an artist with humour, understanding, love and pathos. The scope of the book extends from big business to international politics, but the leitmotiv is that of a man who, despite frequent ill-health and painful disappointments, never lost courage and never neglected the art of being human and approaching life with a sense of fun." .
