Anyone collect books?

[leadlike]

I've probably got about 20-30 books on the subject, including Basic Television by Grob. Add to that I have Rider's 1-16, and they take up quite a bit of shelving! I'd like to get ahold of a Radiotron designer's handbook someday as well.

The most fun reads are the 1930s radio magazines published by Gernsback. They do a great job capturing the enthusiasm of advancing radio technology at the time-every small advancement was treated as a miracle, where now we pretty much take new tech for granted.
