Is this book of any significance?

I've had this for years, and can't recall where I got it. It's very detailed...

Audels covered many topics like refrigeration, radio, etc. Very popular in the 1940s and 1950s. What is the copyright date on the title page? If you could take a clear photo of that page, I or somebody else here might be able to give you some more information. Your copy looks to be in pretty good condition so a collector may very well desire to have it.

It's not in the best of shape; some(3-4)pages towards the middle have had some paper cut out of them. You can read most of what is on the pages.

Interesting last chapter talks about television. Cutting edge at the time.

From the early 1930s. Wow! I bet reading the chapter on television is very interesting!

That book may or may not have much value as an antique book but you might want to ask these folks:

At the very least, if you want to sell it, eBay it and see what happens.

I found this. While it is not your exact book, it may give you an idea of its worth.

I have a thing for old books, plus I'm studying for my license so I can get into the hobby, so I'll hang onto it as it's nice to see how much things have changed.

Thank you for looking that up.

Would like to get a copy of that for new Ham s as much of the info is NOT on the test.
