WANTED: PRE-1980 RATINGS

Do you have any radio ratings books from prior to 1980, or know someone who does? Please reply or PM me if you have any old ARB or Hooper books. I'm more than happy to get scans or copies, and am even willing to pay if you're willing to part with them.
 
Yes - David has been a huge help in my work, and many of those R&R Directories are ones that I provided to him. Unfortunately, we've both hit many a dead end in trying to find ratings information from prior to 1980. Hopefully there are some folks out there with some old books in a box somewhere, both David and I are trying to preserve as much history as we can before it's lost forever.
 
Though I'm sure David's site might have this information, you could also check out Rob Jacobs book on the history of KHJ. In it, you will find the memos he sent to the jock staff which contains quite a few breakouts of LA ratings from Hooper, Pulse and (later) Arbitron.
