The Phantom Teleview by Bob Olsen:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"Television by this time is probably no longer a novelty to most of our readers. During July of this year, the Bell Telephone Laboratories staged a most impressive demonstration where television in full colors was demonstrated. Thus, for instance, the image of an American flag waving in the breeze was transmitted successfully and observers on the other end could see all not only the details of the flag, but all the colors as well."


(The Phantom Teleview)

"Our versatile author has used this new branch of science as a vehicle for his present extraordinary story, which is not only exciting, but gives a good deal of food for thought. There is nothing contained in the science of this story that sometime or other will not be a reality."
