Some more oldies, but goodies
This list was posted on QRP-L by Mike Olbrisch KD5KC - The Radio Boys series. These books are in the same genre as The Hardy Boys or Tom Swift, but these deal with "wireless" and go back to the early 1920s when Amateur Radio was still in its infancy.

Thanks for sharing these. I saw them on qrp-l the other day but assumed they $$$. I read a lot from my Kindle or phone.
