I had that book when I was about eleven.

I was so fascinated by it I "borrowed" it from the school library, permanently.
I haven't seen it in its entirety since then, but I still think of certain electrical principles in terms of the diagrams in that book, particularly the induction coil and resonator, demonstrating Hertzian waves.
I'm sure I tried to sabotage one of my mothers Consulate menthol cigarettes as per page 213.
