This much anticipated Shortwave "Bible" is now available from Universal Radio. 800 pages over 360 manufacturers and over 1700 variants listed accompanied by photos.
I've been reading mine since mid-afternoon and still have over half a book to go. Kudos to Fred Osterman for publishing and printing this huge reference book covering Communications Receivers from 1942 - 2013.
