Chuck,

Yep, The Art & Skill of Radio-Telegraphy by Bill Pierpont, N�HFF, is another
great book. For those unfamiliar with it, you can find info at
http://www.qsl.net/n9bor/n0hff.htm The 3rd edition is available for free
download and the printed 4th edition can be purchased from FISTS CW Club at
cost ($11.50 shipped).

I just picked up a few more books to read...

200 Meters and Down by Clinton DeSoto

The Victorian Internet by Tom Standage

The Nymph and The Lamp by Thomas H. Randall (David Ring, N1EA's
recommendation)
