This book by Peter Wensberg came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: David Senra. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Chronicles the story of Edwin Land, the publicity-shy genius who created the Polaroid Corporation and brought the world instant photography, only to lose control of his own creation.
“There is a book, I think it's called Land's Polaroid. That's the one I'd read because it's only 250 pages and it's written by a guy that worked for and with Edwin Land for like 20 years.”— David Senra
