Terrific! Couldn't put it down! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Third edition: What a great book, especially for Heathkit builders and users! I have the first and second volumes; this one is an order of magnitude more detailed!
Well worth the price!

Third Edition Now - Even Better Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Chuck Penson WA7ZZE has brought out a third edition of this book recently. I bought mine directly from him on eBay. It can also be ordered direct from him at wa7zze.com. To say it is a fantastic book is an understatement. This edition is 426 pages, covers over 300 products, all the ham gear plus many peripherals of interest to hams like weather stations, CB radios, and SWL receivers. There are over 1000 illustrations. There are many pointers, tips, and details in this book that I've not seen elsewhere. There is also a lot of Heathkit history. Essential if you are into Heathkits!

Excellent history for Heath fans and collectors Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is a fantastic book. It has historical descriptions, photos, and discussion about virtually every ham radio-related item that Heath made over the years. It even includes some Heath employee discussions and describes the various generations of the equipment they designed.

I also bought the excellent book on Heathkit Test Equipment, also written by Chuck Penson WA7ZZE, from his eBay store. I see that he has now also put out a new book on Heathkit Hi-Fi as well.

Professionally Done! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
First-rate written descriptions and photographs of all Heathkit Amateur and CB products. Also includes a history of the Heath company and several useful references. First edition, published by Electric Radio in 1995, is 248 pages. Second edition (pictured), published by CQ Communications in 2003, is 328 pages and is the one to get if you have a choice. Author Chuck Penson is a Heathkit expert and an excellent writer. A great book for anyone who has enjoyed building or operating a Heathkit. Out-of-print but often available from second-hand book sources.
