Summary: Okay book, but why hype its sales?
Review: Andy Yoder has done a yeoman's job with this book, but calling it "far and away the #1 bestseller in the field" is beyond hyperbole. Just look at its Amazon ranking and compare it to, say, Passport to World Band Radio or other books in the field.

Summary: Best choice
Review: I have always this book handy when I listen to DX on www.dxtuners.com. It has helped me a lot in finding UNId:ed stations.
Thanks Andrew
