Here we have a pair of booklets from Westinghouse’s “Little Science” series of 1945, which set out to explain our rapidly changing world of science and technology to readers young and old. These are two particularly interesting, and rarely-seen, titles from that series: “Eyes and Ears for the Millions: The Story of Telegraph, Telephone, Radio and Television” (32 pp.), and “Amber and Amperes: What We Know of Electricity, and How We Use It” (16 pp.). Each measure about 7” x 5”, and presents a fascinating glimpse of how one of the world’s greatest technological innovators assessed the state of science and progress at the very beginning of the atomic age. These particular titles are very rarely-seen and almost never come up for sale, and never in such good condition. If you’ve been looking for them and despaired of ever finding any examples at all, this is your lucky day – you will look long and hard before coming across them again. Best of all, I offer them here with NO RESERVE – high bidder takes the lot!

 

I will ship this item ONLY within the United States. If you live elsewhere and are interested in it, please contact me BEFORE bidding so we can discuss the shipping charges, which can be very expensive outside the U.S. I ship once a week (whenever possible). Having received, over the years, some items that did not survive shipping, I always take care to pack very carefully. If you prefer, I will be happy to drop it off at a nearby UPS store and have it professionally packed and shipped at your expense. I reserve the right to raise or lower the shipping charges should they prove to be significantly different than those determined by the shipping calculator. I reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone with excessive negative feedback or an otherwise suspicious history. Payment is due within three (3) days of the auction's close. Due to its age I am selling this item without any warranty. All sales are final. I am not a dealer, and don’t have a big operation with a staff, so I would appreciate your patience while I take the time to pack your items with the care they deserve.

 

Be sure to see all the pictures! I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, but please try to ask as early as possible, as it sometimes takes me a while to get to my email. Please see my other listings, as I am running out of space and am thinning out my collection considerably. I have several fine items up on Ebay right now, and will be listing many more in the weeks and months to come, so please keep checking. Good luck and happy bidding!
