...enough to be amused by the notion of antique plastic, you are old enough for Radios: The Golden Age, by Philip Collins (Chronicle; 119 pages; $25, $14.95 paper), an exaltation of those portable Emersons, Motorolas and Sonoras that fulfilled the American dream of bringing news and entertainment to every room of the house.

Gifted and coddled, he could pick up any one of his toy planes and send it soaring, ever higher, never landing, as buoyant and restless as his imagination. Then reality brought his world crashing to earth. The boy, poor indomitable thing, had a lot to learn about gravity...
