Great News from the Edison Papers Project

[Allen]

In the course of a recent conversation (via email) with Paul Israel, in preparation for an article in the March 2022 issue, he shared this wonderful news: - all 9 volumes of their massive, years-long project to cover all of Edison's life and inventions, has been digitized by Johns Hopkins Press (Project Muse) and placed on the Web, for free! Since their most recent book, over 1100 pages, alone sells for $115 in hard copy, this is quite a bargain.

 

  Here is the URL (watch the wrap):

  Let us know if this access URL works for you.

 

Best,

Thanks Allen

 

These are great books, and it is nice to have them in a digital format.

 

The latest volume was on sale before Christmas for half the cover price.

Allen, 

 

Thank you so much for sharing!  This is indeed awesome news!!!  Recently, Louis Carlat, a peer of Paul and associate Editor of the Edison Papers, contacted me and we've been collaborating on their work on Coin-ops.  They do amazing and deep research!!
