I would also like to suggest a book called "Signor Marconi's Magic Box"
by Gavin Weightman, published by De Capo press.  It is a fascinating 
read of the very early days of wireless. Mine is an advance reading copy; 
I'm not sure if it's available for sale yet. Check www.decapopress.com 
for details.

Another great book (I believe now out of print) is the W6AM book by N6AW.
Fantastic photographs plus an interesting story line. And yes lots of
descriptions of early TOWERS and antennas.
