• Pamphlet From The Tekno-underground 07 April, 2008
This is an extremely short tract that weaves indiscriminately amongst legitimate (albeit math-free) science, Gilligan's-Island style improvisation (that's a toilet float atop the coil pictured on the cover), and mythical pop pseudoscience ("unlimited free energy," etc.).
A good Google search will be far more informative, and free, too.

• Construction Notes To Build A Tesla Coil 26 October, 1998
I have reviewed this book when I first started gathering information on Tesla coil design. Much of the information can be obtained from old reprints and other sources. George has described building a Tesla coil using househould appartatus such as Tupperware containers. If you are serious about Tesla coil construction, then this manual is probably not for you. If you want a basic understanding of the Tesla coil, this manual is reasonably priced and can rest in your bookcase along with more advanced books on the subject.Again, this is one man's design and is probably not the most effecient coil you can build to give you the longest sparks, but it is a start to provide for a beginner. When I built my Tesla coil, I did not use the design information in this manual.

• Excellent Tesla Coil Resource. 30 January, 2007
With all of the designs for tesla coils circulating the internet I was curious why I should pay $10 for this book. I was pleasantly surprised. The detail and simplicity of the book make it a great beginners guide. I am using the authors general design but altering it in some ways to give it my own flair. Mine is nearly complete!!
With this book you really don't need to know anything about a Tesla Coil to build one (just have some basic Algebra skills).
I highly recommend it.
