Optician's Optical Connections series is turned into book

Optical Connections, Optician’s series of articles on historical episodes related to optics, has formed the basis for a new book from author David Baker.

Stories Of How Optics Changed The World features many of Baker’s most popular articles including how a pair of tortoiseshell glasses led to the conviction of two notorious killers in 1920s Chicago.

Baker (far right) presented a copy of the book to Neil Handley, curator of the College of Optometrists/BOA Museum, which had supplied the cover image for the book.

The book is available at the discounted price of £6.99 through the publisher’s website www.feedaread.com/books/How-Glasses-Caught-A-Killer-9781786103246.
