Thanks to Michael Martens (KB9VBR) for this in-depth analysis of two popular Amateur Radio antenna books: The 13th revised edition of Rothammel' Antenna Book and the new 25th edition of the ARRL Antenna Book.
As Michael suggests, each book has its own advantages and minor failings. Either antenna book will provide the information you need to design, build, test, and use antennas for your purposes.

Here are some comments from Michael (KB9VBR):
I take a look at the 13th revised edition and first English translation of Rothammel's Antenna book and compare is to the new 25th Edition of the ARRL Antenna Book. Which book stands out as the best?
