I had to return this book. It certainly contains a tremendous amount of data, which I thought was never generally available, having reportedly being taken by un-named American officials following Tesla's death.
While the huge amount of material is a definite plus, it is almost inaccessible in this book. The print is small, very black to the point of being smudged and smeared throughout. The illustrations are completely useless due to them being so badly smeared and blotched. The small size of the pages and poor paper quality adds to the general illegibility. Anyone with other than perfect vision would be instantly frustrated. Perfect vision would not help much either.
The book obviously seeks to convey the technicalities, methods and explanatory features of Tesla's work. Properly printed, it should be a goldmine of information for the technically inclined and skilled person. If your math skills are lacking, you would be at a disadvantage since there are plenty of electrical engineering formulas, but, if you cannot read them anyway . . .
Based on the copy I received, I cannot recommend this book in any way, and that's a sad state of affairs. This book should be reprinted by someone who knows how to review and correct the proofs. Correctly done, it would be a great and much sought after treasure.
