The History of the British Vintage Wireless Society 1976-1996
A personal account of
the BVWS and of Radio Collecting written and produced by Jonathan Hill
This
book was presented free to BVWS members and celebrates and records the year-by-year
achievements of the BVWS from it's foundation in 1976 to it's 20th anniversary
exhibition in 1996. It may be employed as a useful reference in conjunction
with the Society's long-standing journal, the Bulletin, as there are numerous
cross-references to this particular publication within the text.
It also contains a fascinating personal account of the history of radio collecting
in Britain throughout this period with descriptions of markets, auctions, exhibitions
and many other events.
The front and rear covers show a detailed view of a well-stocked London wireless
shop, photographed by W.B. Campbell of The Press Studio in about 1924.
