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.
