A Review of this Site |

Click this like to read a nice review of this
website on "Making it Up", itself a fascinating and
very readable site

Missing Pages |
|
The publications on the site are “what you see is
what you get”. Old magazines, whether contributed or
purchased online, are sometimes missing pages or
articles or photos. The one you want is,
unfortunately, one of those “challenged” issues.
Sorry. But if you come across missing pages, scan
them and send them as it is an easy task to
incorporate them in the incomplete PDF.

We have received several requests or a brief
description of each book in our
Bookshelf section. This would take the form of a
pop-up short paragraph for each title describing the
nature of the content (not a book review; just a
little description).
Neither the USA David nor the UK David who provide our
content have the time to take on this task so we are
looking for contributors, perhaps one person for the
technical books and one for the radio industry titles.
Contact us if you are interested! |
