Customer Reviews

Most incredible STUNNING radio photography ever.

The two Philip Collins radio picture-books, "Radios Redux" and "Radios: The Golden Age", are both ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKINGLY STUNNING. I have never seen radios look so good, and I am a collector. You will want to rip every one of the pages out and frame them. These are mainly of the tabletop marbelized colored-plastic radios of the 1930's and 40's - the most good-looking of all the table radios, Ever. Catalin, bakelite, plaskon, and whatever other brand names they had for the plastics of the day - all seem to be represented. Both of these books are equally, truly, EYE CANDY.

Another "must have" reference for antique radios

Like the author's earlier book, "Radios: The Golden Age", this book has large, flawless photos of flawless radios, some are rare, some are just uncommonly beautiful. If you are restoring a radio that's pictured in this book, it's a must have to use as a guide.
