Designing and building your own over-the-air antenna is an accomplishment. Publishing any kind of book is an accomplishment. But I question the usefulness of this little book.I knew its listing showed just 56 pages, but I was surprised when I opened the book on my Kindle, it showed that there were only six minutes of reading in the book. Turns out that it's packed, or padded, with lots of photographs.The fourth paragraph of the introduction begins, "Almost all TV stations no longer broadcast in the UHF/VHF spectrum." Uh oh. That's a perfectly false statement; the book is devoted to building a UHF/VHF TV antenna. I hope that the author meant that most US TV stations no longer broadcast in analog NTSC format, as he continues to talk about the old days before remote controls.The meat of the book shows how to build a logarithmic indoor-only antenna with wire, aluminum foil, cardboard, and a 75 to 300 ohm transformer. As a project, it's not much better or worse than those in YouTube videos. In my opinion, for the cost of the materials, you'd be better off buying a good, inexpensive pre-made antenna such as this one: Mediasonic Homeworx HW110AN Super Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna - 25 Miles RangeIf you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber and you're looking to build your own antenna for kicks, this book is no worse than most YouTube antenna projects. Otherwise, I don't know why you'd want to buy this book.
