Hi Paul:
I reviewed Lars Heide's book more favorably:
Review of Lars Heide, Punched-Card Systems and the Early Information Explosion, 1880-1945, in the Journal for the American Society for Information Science and Technology 61/2 (Feb. 2010), p. 428
I can post the text of my review, but perhaps it would be more appropriate for you to find it online.
I tried to, unsuccesfully. Even simple searches of the American Society for Information Science and Technology website on either Ceruzzi or Heide produced nothing. I did find your mention of the book in the IT History Society Blog for 21 July 2009, but no review. Could you post the URL please.
