Wow!
What memories!
I always wanted to build that 4 tube super heterodyne receiver that was
shown in that book. I don't remember much about it other than it used plug
in coils rather than a band switch.
During my last 9 weeks at our school, after I had been licensed for 2 years,
my librarian said to me one day:
You aren't going to let your senior year go by without checking that book
out, are you?"
I had discovered it when in the 6th grade, and had read it at least once
every year afterward.
I don't know what happened to the Mississippi copy either.
