Holy smokes... 25 more books added!

This is getting ridiculous - I have no time for this!  (But I did them anyway...)

Some of these do not directly deal with radio but involve radio in some way.  Some of these books may just have a chapter devoted to OTR. 

Hopefully, you understand that these books (at least mostly) are not about OTR.  However, they would be a valuable part of any OTR library.

I have taken the time to look through each book to see what's in there.  If you are an OTR fan, you'd probably want these books.

etc etc ad nauseum...blah blah blah.

Granted, the Abbott and Costello book below probably has NOTHING to do with OTR at all, except that the book is about Abbott and Costello.

# Abbott and Costello on the Home Front: A Critical Study of the Wartime Films

And this book is about old time radios themselves - the actual radio!

# Old Time Radios! Restoration and Repair

It's amazing what Google is putting up there.  In my wildest dreams I never imagined all of the books they have put online recently.
