Television: An International History
Overall, this is a highly entertaining read. While I took issue with the layout (omitting the photo pages from the book's flow was an odd choice) and the editing (which let slip more and more errors as the text progressed), it's definitely worth reading. Tons of funny little stories come to light throughout.
