The post about radio premium photo-books, reminded me--
To remind this once again!
;-)
...That [removed] "used" can be a marvelous place to find all sorts of
books.
Just go to Amazon, do a search the way you normally would, and if the
book has been listed by someone, it will pop up!
(It also pays, of course, to do a Google search, Ebay, [removed] It
pays someone, anyway! ;-)
Best, Jim

Sincerely

Many early radios were crystal sets, most of which were homebuilt.
Thanks for the information.
I recall having a crystal set I bought new in the early '60s.
Boy, was that thing tough to get a signal from even a local station.
At least for me. :)
