Book Reviews of Sounds In the Air: The Golden Age of Radio
Book Review: Excellent Historical Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this for my mom. She spent 5 years in radio's heyday back in the 30's, before becoming a WAVE in WWII. She actually called me today to express her gratitude for all the memories and people this book brought back to her. She loved the facts behind the facts / people as well.
