Reviews

The Universal Product Code--the familiar bar code on consumer products--is one of the most pervasive technologies of the late twentieth century. This excellent book is the first substantial book of this important innovation...and is a very welcome addition to the literature of business history and the history of computing.--Martin Campbell-Kelly Business History
