Hiram Maxim autobiography

Hi Richie,

No I didn't. Purchased the book as 'just another copy'. I wrote the auctioneer to ask whether they had any information on the source of the book. I hope that'll shed more light on this interesting book.

It's actually a very entertaining read and I was able to gain some insight into the slightly narcist mind of a pretty intelligent inventor. Never realised his involvement in electric lighting, wood turning and painting.

He trodded along the Vermont area as well, btw.
