This book is a great addition to the library adding some interesting perspective on the lives of both Hiram and Hudson Maxim. It happens that I’m in the middle of this book as you post about it. Hiram’s “My Life” and Mottelay’s work “The Life and Work of Sir Hiram S. Maxim” are also fun to read.
In ‘My Life’, Hiram’s narrative style is interesting in its own right. I imagine he would have been vastly entertaining to listen to over a few drinks with the ‘Little Gun’ occupying a corner of the room.
Regards,

Surely you mean “just one,” right?
Otherwise, a very interesting book you seem to have there.
