Earmuffs for Everyone! : How Chester Greenwood Became Known as the Inventor of Earmuffs (Hardcover)

from Sullywriter

A good look at the evolution of the earmuff and the ways that various inventors improved on one another's designs, until Chester Greenwood made one last tweak to the wire headband and patented it. McCarthy includes an informative afterword about her research process.

from amandabock

What's great about his book is that it explains both how a thing becomes "invented" and also (even more importantly) how the story of an invention becomes part of the collective memory and, eventually, considered history.

from Annalisebradshaw

This is the story of how Chester Greenwood invented earmuffs, sort of! He actually took the idea and just made it better with his own design and then later in the 1970s there became a Chester Greenwood day. It also goes into the historical development of this product and business methods.
