Highly recommended item!
Stampless Mail to and from Scandinavia to 1868 (Hughmark & Halpern, 1999) An outstanding and essential new book, bringing together the collected knowledge on stampless mail to/from Scandinavia and the markings thereon. Includes priced catalog for the markings. This is required reading for all collectors of early Scandinavian covers. This book is out of print and the publisher is out of stock; to my knowledge, I have the only copies available for sale and now only a couple remain.

$95.00

#10041 Methods and Topics in Postal History: Nordic Mails and Routes (DuBois, ed., 2001; Proceedings of Postal History Symposium at Nordia 2001) Despite the off-putting title, this is an extremely interesting and useful book for cover and cancel collectors and postal historians. Topics: US-Sweden Mail before 1873; Slesvig Plebiscite of 1920; Danish Cancels; Denmark and US Postal Connection 1850-1922; DWI Classic Stamps on Covers; Norwegian Mail During Napoleonic War 1807-1816; Greenland Postal History; Swedish Express Mail 1920-1970; Danish/UN Fieldpost in the Balkans 1992-2001; Swedish Mail to U.S. 1875-1907. Important articles with much information simply not published anywhere else. Out of print; I believe that the few copies I have are the last available anywhere.
