This 10 volume set from historian Roger C. Paulson promises to be
the Most Complete OTR encyclopedia ever written. At least seven
times the size of John Dunning's On the Air, this massive tome has
been 20 years in the making and is a MUST for any fan of radio.
Biographies of its (even obscure) series and stars, it is the most
comprehensive set ever attempted! Everything from A&P Bandwagon
to Ivan Cury is covered in Volume 1 in an overwhelming amalgamation
of biographical material that is sure to please the casual observer
as well as the steadfast researcher of radio and early recorded
sound. Birthdates, deathdates, credit lists, cross-referenced with
alternate show names, Archives of the Airwaves far surpasses any
book on radio history ever before published. Volume 2 contains
everything from Dad and Junior to Bob Hope! ROGER C. PAULSON began
his passion for radio during the 1940's with his juvenile ear glued
to the loudspeaker. In 1946, while on a trip to New York City with
his parents, he became very excited to actually see live broadcasts
of shows he had often heard over the air. All of this eventually
led to his forty year career in broadcasting. During the 1970's he
began collecting tapes and books on old-time radio. After listening
to the tapes and reading the books he decided to author a complete,
accurate and readable encyclopedia on OTR he titled Archives of the
Airwaves. Some twenty years later, upon completing the
time-consuming research and writing, you are now reading the
result.
