    Outstanding piece of Gernsback's life. I've saw only a cover-art before. Thanx for sharing.

    Thanks for your comment! I'll have more Gernsback items. Check this page: http://www.magazineart.org/publishers/gernsback.html and the Wikipedia pages on Gernsback, and Experimenter Publishing, for more on Hugo.

    Wonderful images of early wireless I've never seen. Thanks for sharing. I think it's important to preserve these works of art as an entire magazine.

    If someone who has these catalogs is willing to scan them, I'll publish them as e-books, same as I published the Sears 1922 catalog.

    Until then, we have to take what we can get.
