   Based on what you said you have enjoyed already, I'd highly recommend "A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid and the Kodak Patent War" by Ronald K. Fierstein (http://www.triumphofgenius.com/).

   It is a history of Land and Polaroid, together with a detailed, insider's view of the long-running litigation between Polaroid and Kodak (the author worked at the firm which represented Polaroid on the case).

   One of the things I found most interesting was just how much Steve Jobs was inspired by and copied Edwin Land.

   For anybody interested in this era of photography, the book "A Triumph of Genius" by Ronald K. Fierstein is such a brilliant documentation of the history around the Kodak vs Polaroid patent war.
