Another doorstop of a research book, this volume covers "The Early Years" (1875 - 1925). Rather dry material.

This book is unlikely to be on any bookshelf except a library. Thank goodness it was at mine.
 

A manual for British telecom students, it goes into details on the basics of telecommunications as well as the history and development of the technology. At least to 1968.
 

A bit dry, very technical in places, but fascinating if completely outmoded.
