It is not generally known that John Logie Baird, the genius who not only invented television, but went on to develop colour and 3D versions of it, wrote his own life story. In this highly readable account, Baird writes with blunt candour and caustic wit about the wild escapades of his early business career, when he marketed his own patent brand of medicated undersocks and attempted to set up a jam-making industry in the Caribbean. He also recounts the epoch-making experiments through which television was created and describes his troubled relationship with the fledgling BBC.
