The first copier machine for regular paper, which appeared in 1960, stands out among other outstanding inventions in the field of high technology in that the principle of its operation was invented by one person. David Owen's captivating story describes the history of the machine, without which it is now impossible to imagine the lives of civilized people. Inventor of xerography, Chester Carlson made his discovery during the Great Depression. The idea that revolutionized the world of document production was so unusual and at the same time simple that it could have been easily overlooked. Not surprisingly, the inventor recalled that major companies, including IBM and Kodak, showed a "unanimous lack of interest" in what Fortune magazine later called "the most successful product ever sold in America." After conducting numerous interviews, reviewing Xerox Corporation archives, and examining personal documents from the Carlson family, David Owen was able to write a fascinating story about courage and perseverance in the struggle to realize a grand discovery.
