A lot of books about the history and the DJ's of Radio Luxembourg are published over  the years. It's not easy to get them. I actually got three books and you'll find them here plus one more.  If you may have a book or got some articles from the press, please let me know.

Radio Luxembourg 1933 - 1993
          by Denis Maréchal, © published 1994

This is also a brilliant book about the history of Radio Luxembourg. But to be honest - i really haven't got a clue what exactly is inside because it is written in french. So I guess it's based more on the french service of RTL.

Under The Bedclothes
          by Janet Alldis, © published 1993

This book is written by Barry Alldis's daughter Janet and as you'll guess it's based more on familar facts. Read about his giant career as a presenter and beeing a charming husband and father. It's a wonderful, lovely written book about Luxembourg's longest serving personality - your DJ BA - sadly died in 1982. We all miss him. I'm very proud to have a copy of this book.

Radio Luxembourg
The Station Of The Stars
          by Richard Nichols, © published 1984

Every 208 fan should read this book. It features not only a lot of good pictures, it also takes you back to where it all began. You'll find out almost everything of the stations history. It is a very good book and I wish that I could get it back because I haven't got the original anymore. Thanks to Christiane of the CLT/UFA for the copied one.
