The "Bible" of antique radio pricing
This is a "must" have book for all antique radio collectors. It contains pricing and features for just about every early radio made. Look for the previous 3 editions too for more photos!

This is a good refference book but could stand improvement.
I collect radios and have used several editions of this book in identification and pricing of radios. It has an extensive catalogue of manufacturers and model numbers. It is full of factual, descriptive listings. Other books seem to fill their pages with quaint old advertisments,and other interesting but uninformative material. Bunis's books could improve on the accuracy of their descriptions. Many times in describing a radio, they list the number of knobs, number of tubes, shape of the dial, etc. The frustrating thing is, that just when you think you have identified your radio, you realize that the book forgot to list the number of knobs, or some other critical detail. The descriptions are inconsistant. The book has alot of nice photos of radios, but I find myself wishing for many more. If the Bunis's could solicit contributions from collectors and readers, maybe that would help. Overall, Bunis's books have been the most usefull guide I have found.
