Automotive Production Systems And Standardisation Book

Very good read, although my interest gradually slowed down the more it got into all of the different legal entanglements (somewhat unsurprisingly, a lot of which mirror some of the issues faced these days regarding the internet). It seemed like Barnouw had first hand sources for just about every incident covered in the book so it'd probably be a pretty handy thing to have read if you're doing any kind of academic work on this kind of thing.

I enjoyed it but I'd imagine it'd be improved considerably if you're someone who's more familiar with the US broadcasting system than I am; definitely worth checking out for the first half of the book either way though.
