Book is excellent as it was written by Tesla Vlad Book is excellent as it was written by Tesla, but DO NOT BUY KINDLE VERSION OF THE BOOK FROM THIS PUBLISHER as it has horrible misspellings all over the place. I am surprised that Amazon is allowing sales of books with so many misspellings. These misspellings are not from Mr. Tesla of course - but from publisher who is missing words and mispelling the ones they are not missing. After I was done reading the kindle versi
