“Beneath this jacket is one of the most extraordinary books we have ever been privileged to print. It presents to the lay public, for the first time, a rounded and comprehensive summary of the science of electronics. It is extraordinary, also because it blends in distinguished fashion the talents of artist, writer, typographer, engraver, and printer. It is a book of our day and times. “Electronics: A New Science for a New World” was created for the General Electric Company by N.W. Ayer & Son, Inc. The designer is Herbert Bayer [Art directed by Leo Lionni] and Davis, Delaney & Harrs is the printer. It is our prediction that this new book will win recognition and acclaim as one of the finest presentations in many years of a scientific subject for the lay mind. We are very happy to present this copy to you with our compliments.” – Davis, Delaney and Harrs, New York
Text from the original (1942, 32 pages) printed translucent vellum wrapper, which unfortunately this copy no longer includes.
