Zipper: An Exploration in Novelty Paperback - 1996
by Robert Friedel
The zipper was invented 100 years ago by Whitcomb Judson, a frustrated man with a penchant for complexity. This book tells the fascinating story of how a useless technological novelty worked its way into daily life and took its place as one of the defining artifacts of the 20th century. Photos.
First line
The September 9, 1893, edition of Scientific American ("The Most Popular Scientific Paper in the World") featured, as it had for weeks, articles about the spectacular world's fair then taking place on Chicago's Lake Michigan shore.
