Here's one person's opinion:

Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/BestAntennaBooks

The list is by Alexander Shimansky UR5SAS.

I totalled the Amazon prices. $801.74. Amateur antenna design is
becoming a rich mans hobby. However, there is hope. When I look
under the "buying options" buttons, there are cheaper editions
available. I only have 3 of the 10 books listed. Sniff.

And I expect you're aware there's a thriving market in second-hand books via
companies such as Alibris, e.g.
http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?bi...l+applications.
That way you can gather what you need for much less money. I have purchased
books this way, stamped by parts of the US military, that are in fine
condition.

In another thread I've mentioned recently that the library of the IET
(formerly the IEE) in Savoy Place, London, is open to members of the public
free of charge to read all they have there, which is an impressive quantity
of material from throughout much of the history of radio. I daresay there
are equivalents in other countries.
