5.0 out of 5 stars
THE guide for fans of old radio.,
By Mister Chris (Peekskill, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tune in Yesterday: The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio, 1925-1976 (Hardcover)
Lately, there have been a rash of good books on the subject of Old Time Radio (THE GREAT AMERICAN BROADCAST by Leonard Maltin, for example) but nothing beats this exhaustive guide to the classic (and not-so-classic) radio shows of yesteryear. With each title arranged in alphabetical order, the novice can quickly turn to, say, FIBBER MCGREE AND MOLLY, and read an informative overview of the show's history and appeal. The readabilty and breath of knowledge of this volume is fantastic. While out of print (my copy has been by my side since '77), if you're a fan of a time when radio was truely the "theatre of the mind," this book is well worth searching out.

Two Thanks For The Memories.,
This review is from: Tune in Yesterday: The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio, 1925-1976 (Hardcover)
My daughter saw this book when visiting me. We are both nostalgia buffs. I sent her a copy of her own, and she was very pleased. Unfortunately the book seems out of print and is only available used.
