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.
