Thanks for the tip Bill! I'll be sure to pick up a copy. I'm especially
interested because I happen to be the Baird Clan representative for
Missouri and this famous scottish TV inventor is our favorite clan son! 

The main reason for posting about this is to make a correction. The mans 
name is not James but JOHN (Logie) Baird! I'm not sure who made the
mistake but I just wanted to let everyone know he's my namesake!! I was
born in 1942 just after his invention became public.
