From the editors of Radiocraft, this practical guide concentrates on the design and construction of audio amplifiers. Two parts: the first on amplifier theory and design, the second giving six practical designs to build. Talks about phase splitters, feedback, and tone controls, things not addressed in most textbooks.

Audels Radiomans Guide, Edwin P. Anderson, 1945, 880 pages
An odd book, about 4-1/2" x 6-1/2" and a whopping 880 pages, "covering theory, construction, and servicing including television electronics". It covers everything from sounds waves through basic electronics, PA systems (including a little info on a WE theatre amp), transmitters, car and aircraft radio, troubleshooting - you name it, it's in here. Not a college text, this looks like it could be a handbook for the radio technician or advanced hobbyist of the 1940's. Lots of good vintage info!

Basic Radio - The Essentials of Electron tubes and their Circuits, J. Barton Hoag, 1942, 379 pages
Another college-level electronics text, this one is "designed for the student with only a limited background in physics and mathematics". Covers the basics of AC and DC circuits and radio propagation, then vacuum tubes and circuits that use them. Has some information not found on other texts, like high-frequency and microwave radio, transmission line theory, and DC amplifiers. Another good text!

Basic Theory and Applications of Electron Tubes, Departments of the Army and Air Force, 1952, 215 pages
This is an excellent, relatively modern (1952) text on vacuum tubes. Very practical, not too much math, and it has some very nice illustrations. Very specific to tubes, discusses how they work, how they're built, and circuits.

The Cathode-ray tube at Work, John F. Rider, 1935, 336 pages
Not obvious until you realize this book pre-dates television, this is really a book about the oscilloscope (called an "oscillograph" back then). Talks about how CRT's work, how an oscilloscope works, and how to use an oscilloscope to troubleshoot circuits like amplifiers, and to adjust radio transmitters and receivers.

Coyne Electrical and Radio Trouble Shooting Manual, Coyne Electrical School, 1946, 612 pages
This funky old book is far from an engineering text - rather, it's a bible for the Mr. Fixit of the 1940's. Light on theory with lots of diagrams, covers electrical wiring, AC and DC motors and generators, refrigeration, automotive electricity, and radio troubleshooting and repair. Not particularly well formatted or printed, it's a lot of thrown-together info. This is not a great book for tube design, but could be useful for the old radio diagrams, or if you have a 1940's Ford V8 with ignition problems.... The best part to me is the electrical dictionary at the end (available to download by itself).

Electronic Amplifier Circuits, Joseph Petit and Malcolm McWhorter, 1961, 325 pages
As you might guess from the title, this textbook is all about the theory and design of amplifiers. While mostly containing tube circuits it does include some information on those new-fangled transistor things. Plenty if math in this one, it concentrates on wide band (e.g., video) amplifiers.

Electronic Circuits and Tubes, Cruft Laboratory at Harvard University, 1947, 994 pages - Courtesy of Jim McConville
This is one of the most comprehensive texts in the collection. According to the forward, the book was developed from the lecture notes of a special wartime electronics training course. A reasonably mathematical treatment of basic circuit theory, vacuum tubes, and practical circuits.

Electronic Transformers and Circuits, Reuben Lee, 1955, 349 pages - Courtesy of John Atwood
This book is a "reference on the design of transformers and electronic apparatus". It covers the design of power transformers, chokes, and signal (audio) transformers. It also talks a bit about circuitry, as it relates to transformers. Enough theory to understand what's going on, as well as practical info on how to construct transformers.

Getting the Most Out of Vacuum Tubes, Robert Tomer, 1960, 164 pages - Courtesy of John Atwood
A Howard Sams Photofact publication, this book addresses the "Types and causes of failures, what to expect from tubes, testing methods, and all about tube maintenance programs". Quite interesting, this book covers material I've not seen comprehensively discussed elsewhere, like failure mechanisms, what makes a "premium" tube special, etc.

Wow... I wish I could read Dutch. This book by Philips appears to be a nice thorough treatment of how vacuum tubes work, how they are built, and how they are applied in radio circuits. Some very nice photos of tubes in various states of disassembly.

Inside the Vacuum Tube, John F, Rider, 1945, 407 pages- Courtesy of Earles McCaul
One of my new favorites - this is a fabulous book on how tubes work and how to design tube circuits. this is NOT a college text; rather this is written more at the level of an advanced technician, with not so much math and lots of diagrams that make visualizing what's going on easy. It even has some 3-D drawings - you'll need anaglyph (red/blue) 3-D glasses to view them.

Principles of Electricity Applied to Telephone and Telegraph Work, A T &T, 1953, 354 pages
This book is "A Training Course Text Prepared for Employees of the Long Lines Department American Telephone and Telegraph Company". "Principles" is a bit of a misnomer - though this book does start out with fundamentals, it quickly dives off into AC circuits, vacuum tubes and amplifiers, and details of telephony. It includes lots of details about telephone and carrier systems, the way they were in the 1950's. Good details about things like how audio transformers work, and the correct way to string telephone wires on a pole!

Principles of Electron Tubes, Herbert Reich, 1941, 398 pages
Essentially an abridged version of Reich's "Theory and Applications of Electron Tubes" (below), this is a college-level text on vacuum tubes. It doesn't have so much math in it to be hard to understand; though it presents plenty of equations, it also shows graphical solutions that the DIY'er could use. One of the best books I know of to learn enough about how tubes really work to be able to design with them.

This is sort of an ARRL handbook on steroids. Very complete, covering basic theory though practical construction of mostly ham radio equipment, though much applies to any vintage electronic project. Has some transistor and semiconductor info but 90% vacuum tube, even a circuit for a tube-based VHF walke-talkie! There are even sections on "high-fidelity techniques" and "electronic computers"! Even includes a math section and info on how to set up your workshop (I like the "workshop-in-a-closet"!)

An earlier edition of the above Radio Handbook, this has more of the feel of the ARRL handbook of 1940. As you would expect the circuits in this older book use some older tubes, and no mention of semiconductors. There is a section on "radio therapy", if you want to build your own diathermy machine!
