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.
