Stein Sonoran Pub, 2008 In the 1930s radio manufacturers turned their attention to designing stylish radio cabinets that would look attractive in the home, a big improvement over the boxy radio cabinets of the 1920s.

Reiss Sonoran Pub, 2003 Great resource for restoring and repairing phonographs I think you will find this an awesome book, as long as you know what to expect.

Sievers Sonoran Pub, 1995 There are two volumes in the Crystal Clear set... ISBN: 188660603X is Volume 2 (252 pages) which describes and pictures additional radio sets not in volume 1. 1886606013 is Volume 1 (282 pages). The important part is the hundreds of pictures of the actual radio sets and/or magazine adds and, when possible, also shows a couple of sentences or so of information about each particular set. The idea is to help identify the huge variety of the many ...             Radio Manufacturers of the 1920's: Vol. 2 Alan Douglas Sonoran Pub, 1995 This is the 2nd volume of a 3 volume set that covers the first decade of radio in the home.
