Sparks out of the Plowed Ground, by my ex-boss at WMST in Mt. Sterling, KY, Bob Doll, chronicles much of early radio in the US.  I think it's out of print.  I bought a copy from Antique Electric in Scottsdale, AZ a few years ago.
Streamline Publishing, 1-800-226-7857  The theme of the book is actually small AM stations, but it goes 'way back.

Another interesting book is Border Radio.  It's about XERF, XEG, and all those super powerful stations just across the border in Mexico back in the forties and fifties.  I checked this book out of the local library, but don't remember the name of the author.  I do remember the librarian told me it was last checked out in 1962.
