At first glance it looks to be a well-researched book, but as has already been said, it's inexplicable that the radio on the cover is a Philips. Huh?
My copy arrived around noon today also. Only had a quick flick through so far and as David as already said "it looks to be a well-researched book". Plenty of black and white photos and Ekco adverts amongst the pages too.
Regarding the Philips set on the front cover. I would imagine Philips pressed their own bakelite mouldings, but Ekco were well known for producing items for other radio manufacturers in addition to their own models - eg: the Philco 444 people's set cabinet. I wonder if they made the front panel of the 834 model for Philips? Hopefully that question may be answered somewhere in the book.
