These gently used books and catalogs are a great way to build your philatelic knowledge and library. All items are used and in at least "good" condition unless otherwise mentioned. I am constantly purchasing philatelic libraries, thus if there is anything you are seeking, please let me know. I guarantee your satisfaction.
Due to the low prices and variation in weight, shipping cost is additional for items in the Specials Literature listings unless otherwise mentioned. When ordering please include a note in the shopping cart comments section indicating if you prefer faster/costlier or slower/cheaper delivery so that I may more quickly quote the shipping costs and options for you.
Each item is usually one of a kind; orders will be filled in order of receipt. Payment by MasterCard or Visa suggested, but I will hold items for 10 days pending receipt of check if you prefer.
Illustrations of books in the Specials section may show representative images and not the exact item. If you hover your mouse pointer over a picture, you should see a small message box stating if the image is representative or of the exact item.

Finland is served by two very useful specialized catalogs: Norma and LAPE. Both are very useful and both have different strengths. Both were revitalized by new publishers around 2000 and editions since that time are much larger than earlier editions. They use different numbering systems (true of every catalog). The serious Finnish specialist will want both catalogs. The Facit Catalog is also very widely used (probably the most widely used outside of Finland).

The Facit "Sverige" Catalog is published every two or three years. It is a simplified color catalog with only Swedish text, but it always includes important special sections that change from issue to issue: Reply Stamps, Christmas Seals, Local Post Stamps, etc.
The Facit Specialized Scandinavian Catalog (Swedish section) is the primary Swedish specialized catalog and used by all specialists.
The SFF Catalog ceased publication in the 1980s; up to that point it was the primary specialized catalog for Sweden and included (back then) more Swedish information than Facit. When it ceased publication, some of the information was rolled into the Facit Catalog, however, the special article and some other information that appeared in SFF are still quite useful.

SFF Sweden Specialized Catalog 1974: (Specialized Catalogue 1974) Primary Swedish specialized catalog of its day. This edition includes ENGLISH TEXT in most sections! Special articles include 1855-1875 mail between Sweden and Norway, Denmark (illustrated, English); Pricing of blocks; pricing of postmarks on early issues; Gustaf V in Round Frame proofs and plate numbers; DESCRIBING (something that the Facit does not do!) and pricing of the plate varieties of the Bandmarken era (1920-1930s coils) (in English, extremely valuable); postal stationery; military stamps; locals; and much more. Used copy; the pages are like new, but the front cover has a heavy crease.
