About this product
Product Information
From its early days as the farmer s companion to over a quarter century as the nation s premier rock-and-roll station, WLS has touched the lives of millions of listeners. Many well-known celebrities, like Gene Autry, owe their careers to the Big 89, through the famous Saturday night program The National Barn Dance. Local personalities such as Dick Biondi, Larry Lujack, and John Records Landecker became household names thanks to Chicago s 50,000-watt blowtorch. The images in Chicago s WLS Radio scan the entire history of the station, featuring engaging hosts, the biggest stars, and lots of fun. The book also covers WLS s move in the 1990s to become a leader in the news and talk format."

Title: So Many Books, So Little Time Author: Paul J. McLane Publisher: Radio World Date: 12/9/2008 Our cover story this issue about Dr. J.R. Brinkley was prompted in part by the publication earlier this year of a book that is now about to come out in soft-cover. Let's wrap up our gift discussion with more ideas for the book lover on your shopping list. "Chicago's WLS Radio" by Scott Childers — Of keen interest to fans of WLS will be this addition to the fabulous "Images of America" photo essay series you've seen in bookstores. The "Images" series began with books about specific towns and cities — I have one about my hometown of Westfield, N.J. — and has expanded to include various industries, ethnic groups and other topics. Readers will find numerous wonderful promotional and behind-the-scene pix not only of early station talents but of more recent notables like Art Vuolo, Kurt Hanson, Catherine Johns, Larry Lujack, Dick Orkin and Dick Biondi. If you have any interest in the storied history of WLS, buy this soft-cover pictorial overview. Retail $19.99. If Arcadia knows what's good for it, the company would launch a full series of radio station history books in the mold of this WLS title. They'd have a hit. A fun thing for a history-minded reader to do: Visit the Arcadia Web site, click on Images of America and browse the thousands of topics in print. Just within radio, the company has titles, in that series and in others, on topics such as broadcasting in Birmingham, Ala.; Detroit sports broadcasters; the history of WIVK(AM) in Knoxville, Tenn.; the "Cincinnati Sound"; and WNAX(AM) in Yankton, S.D. That book was co-written by a man who literally grew in its transmitter building. "Clark Weber's Rock and Roll Radio — 1955–1975, The Fun Years" by Clark Weber with Neal Samors — This book didn't reach me in time to look over for this column but here's the summary from the author: "I'm Mother Weber's Oldest Son Clark. I was very much a part of your rock and roll musical scene in the '50s, '60s and '70s. As the program director and disc jockey at WLS radio in Chicago, I chose the music that was played on that 50,000 watt rock and roll giant. My new book is complete with dozens of pictures and a special CD that returns you to those fun years. Come with me and we'll go back in time to when rock and roll was clean and the Chicago River was dirty." Published by Chicago's Books Press, $37.50 hard, $29.50 soft. "The HP Way" by David Packard — Not just a radio book but featuring first-person electronics and business history, this is a favorite of tech managers including Mike Dosch of Axia Audio. "Catfish" recommended it to me as a fine example of how engineers can find corporate success. Packard co-founded Hewlett-Packard with Bill Hewlett in the late 1930s with $538 and a coin toss to determine who would get top billing. Packard retired as chairman in 1993. Do you dream of turning a garage-based radio/audio business into something bigger? You'll enjoy this. Packard deals out his share of corporate platitudes about HP management; but this easy-to-read paperback is a pleasant excursion. Published by Collins Business Essentials in the mid-1990s, now in paperback, it retails for $14.95. (Also on Dosch's recommended list: "The Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton M. Christensen, published in 1997 and also part of the Collins series, about how "disruptive technologies" and traditional business practices overlap and diverge.) "Passport to World Band Radio" — Here comes the 25th edition of a popular title we've reviewed in Radio World before. This remarkable resource includes reviews of dozens of receivers and antennas; hour-by-hour descriptions of sho

Book in great shape, well packed, fast delivery. The book itself, Historic Tales of Colonial Rhode Island, was a mix of topics on Newport including George Washington's visits (reproduced from a 1932 RI booklet), 19th C mansions, 19th C lighthouses, Post World War II Navy in Newport and more. The colonial period was covered but, given the title, was presumed to be the focus of the book. Not so. Too many unrelated topics beyond the scope and timeframe established by the title. Disappointing.
