"Charley Ellis has written a magnificent portrait, capturing the
indomitable spirit of Joe Wilson and his instinctive understanding
of the need for and commercial usefulness of a transforming imaging
technology. Joe Wilson and his extraordinary team, which I had the
good fortune to first meet in 1960, epitomized the wonderful
observation of George Bernard Shaw who said, 'Some look at things
that are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were and ask
why not?'
"Xerox and xerography are not only a part of our vocabulary, but
part of our everyday life. Charley Ellis gives the reader a
poignant understanding of just how this happened through the life,
adventures, critical business decisions, and dreams of Joseph
Wilson and a cadre of remarkable individuals.
"This book will surely join the library of memorable biographies
that capture the building of America into a risk-tolerant,
technologically sophisticated, idea-oriented society that thrives
by understanding what Charles Darwin really said:
'Survival will be neither to the strongest of the species, nor
to the most intelligent, but to those most adaptable to
change.'"
--Frederick Frank, Vice Chairman, Lehman Brothers Inc.
