Saw this book on amazon while looking for the Bill Benner book on laser scanners - its called:

Lasers, Death Rays, and the Long, Strange Quest for the Ultimate Weapon

I don't have it any was wondering if it had anything that might be interesting or fun.

If you don't have one already, I suggest "Solid State Laser Engineering" by Walter Koechner. I've had it in hardcover for some years. Best book on lasers I have.

This one just looked more like fun, which is why I. asked.

I see you bought a paperback version. The value is in when it was published. The newer the edition the more expensive it is.

I bought it more as a fun read about the past history not so much for current information.

I'm hoping it will capture attention on the end table next to the devils dictionary and Akira Yoshizawa

Yeah, I've got a book shelf too.
