Excellent new book about Phone Phreaks [telecom]

Here is an excellent new book that traces the history of Phone Phreaks. It is well researched and well put together.

"Exploding The Phone : The untold story of the teenagers and outlaws who hacked Ma Bell", by Phil Lapsley.

I am not involved with above book, just found it great reading.

Look for it in your local library.

Amazon also lets you read the Foreword by Steve Woniak.
