A Review of Faroese Postal History (Nielsen, 1986; Lost og fast af Faeroernes posthistorie; plus separate English translation volume by Amedro, 1996) This gem has been largely inaccessible to collectors of Faroe until Amedro's little-known ENGLISH translation was published. Two volume set; the original with Faroe text and illustrations and then the translation. A very interesting background of the development of Faroe postal history and the post. Will be of great interest to any collector of Faroe covers. |

The Faroe Post 1870-2000 (Johannesen, 2000; Postur i Foroyum) An impressive 528-page hardbound volume documenting the history of the Faroe post office (not postal history, but history of the post). Hundreds of illustrations, many in color, including all the stamps. Though entirely in Faroese, the illustrations will be of great interest to serious collectors of Faroe. I even note illustrations of what appears to be Faroese Tin Can Mail! |

Faroe WWII Postal History (Hopballe, 1986; Faeroernes Postal Forhold Under Anden Verdensrkig) The primary reference on this fascinating era of Faroe postal history. 224 pages packed with information seldom available elsewhere.

Faroe Cancellations After January 30, 1975 Handbook & Catalog (Hopballe & Nielsen, 1986; Faeroske Poststempler Efter 30 Januar 1975) A valuable reference which includes cancellation varieties, post office information, and postal history information not in the Wowern Catalog.
