"The Television takes us back in time with the invention of a modern marvel, the TV! The book is well-made, very durable, is full of vibrant color and plenty of nostalgic black and white. The journey begins in the 1800's with the book covering inventions and discoveries that were preludes to the modern TV of the 1950's. It continues through time and takes us to today's 21st century high-def models. The book is kid-friendly with its pleasant text size, historically accurate images, and timelines.
