The picture below shows the printed versions of the book. 500 softback and 100 hardback copies were printed in 2003.  Then, in 2006, a further 300 softback copies were printed.  The book was financed privately by the editors and all profit was given to charity. Copies are no longer available from this web site.  If you have a copy that you wish to sell, I suggest that you put it on eBay and use the title "On Air - A History of BBC Transmission" so that anyone who wants the book can set up a "Saved Search" and receive an email notification from eBay.
