ARRL Handbooks:

I have been collecting ARRL Handbooks for 35 years and, at one time, had 
every edition starting from the first in 1926.  Until after WWII, 
initial printings were very small to keep costs down.  If they sold out, 
a second, third, and even a fourth printing was done.  Each printing was 
identified by a different publication date.  The true fanatical 
collector would try to obtain every edition and every printing (I was 
only missing the third printing of the 1930 6th edition, and the second 
printing of the 1933 10th edition).  In the past several years, I have 
sold some of the very rare handbooks for hundreds of dollars, mainly to 
other collectors.  I still have many old handbooks left from the 
thirties, forties, and fifties that are still reasonably priced.  Each 
handbook has a protective plastic dust jacket.  The 1st through 8th 
editions have been sold – the 9th edition to the present is available.  
I also have handbooks from the fifties to the present.  Hams sometimes 
want a handbook from the year they were born or first licensed.  I 
probably have that for you.  All of my handbooks are in very good to 
excellent condition.  Your money back if not satisfied. If you have a 
special edition or year handbook you are interested in, let me know and 
I will quote you a price. I am offering these handbooks to club members 
first.

ARRL Handbook Sale follow up.

As a follow-up to my initial posting, all Handbooks, from 1932 to 2015, 
are priced at $25 each plus shipping, or you can pick them up in Stuart 
or Tamarac.  I have sold about 20 so far, but have dups of many.  The 
forties are the most popular (I guess many of us were born then) 
followed by the sixties (many of us were first licensed then). Unlike 
the ones offered on eBay, mine are in very good or better condition.  
Most of the handbooks from 1988 onward are hardbound.  The CD is 
included, if issued with one. Shipping is $5.00 for the first handbook.  
Add $2.00 for each of any additional handbook other than the first one. 
PayPal (rask1553 at bellsouth) preferred rather than many small checks.  
Email me first to check on availability before sending money to PayPal.
