Here is the info on Century Print Shop, a good source for radio-related
publications of various kinds, Sams & Tab books at discount, back issues
of RIB, FM Atlas, Police Call, etc. Note: this is a one-man operation, run
by Don Erickson. I've never had any trouble with my orders from him, but
I've heard that others have at times gotten mixed-up orders or delays.
[The only delay I've experienced is that he took months to cash my check 
after shipping the goods! This is in my favor, not in his, so  I have no
complaint there!] However, he went through a bad period when some 
heavy rains damaged his stock, and many orders were delayed. I've
been advance-ordering the WRTH from him for some years, getting it
at a reasonable discount. However, he hasn't arranged yet for next
year's advance ordering; he may be stopping that service.

Unfortunately, there isn't much of a discount on the 1985 WRTH if you
buy one now. The list is $19.50 and the Century price is $19.00;
there's a $1/order shipping charge, so, unless you buy more things
than just that one item, it isn't worth it -- you might as well pay
full list plus sales tax at a local bookstore. Maybe you have a local
discount bookstore where you could get it cheaper?

Anyway, here's the address:

Century Print Shop
Donald E. Erickson
6059 Essex St.
Riverside, CA  92504-1599
(714) 687-5910

Probably be worthwhile writing for his sale flyers -- send an SASE.
