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.

DK 1985 Denmark, Greenland, Faroe, DWI, Iceland Catalog: (Forlaget Saga, 1985) An attempt to compete with the AFA Catalogs, this publisher created a very interesting and useful specialized catalog that still offers much useful priced listings and information. Subjects include: pre-stamp postmarks, stamps up to 1940 and definitive stamps thereafter, varieties and specialized listings, pricing for various types of cancellations (numerals, stars, etc.) on stamp and on cover for different early stamp issues, coil stamps, advertising pairs, L-number plate blocks, etc., etc. Other countries not as specialized, but still very useful. Also pricing for Danish coins. 215 pages. A handy catalog that can still be helpful. Absolutely brand new copy from a boxed up literature dealers stock.

AFA Denmark Specialized Catalog 2008: Important new edition of this valuable specialized catalog of Denmark, Faroe, Greenland, DWI, and Slesvig. COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS. Specialized stamps, printings, varieties, watermarks, coils, booklets, ad pairs, covers, etc. SPECIAL SECTIONS include COLOR PLATES OF ALL PRINTINGS OF DENMARK #1 THRU THE BICOLORS, and PRICED LISTINGS OF ESSAYS, PROOFS, and REPRINTS. Though in Danish (with English word list), this catalog is an absolute must-have reference for all intermediate and advanced collectors of Danish philately. This is a new copy that got a bit dinged in shipment. There are a couple of very small scuffs on the front cover and the two bottom corners of the cover are slightly smushed. (The damage is so minimal that you might not notice if I did not point it out, but I would not sell a dinged copy of a book at full price.) Normally $125.

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).

Handlerkatalog Norge, Nr 28, Winter 1998/1999: This is a non-specialized "stamp shop catalog" that is distributed by Norwegian dealers and is somewhat akin to the Brookman Catalog for U.S. stamps. It uses NK numbering but with more realistic pricing than NK. In Norwegian, but very easy to use. Slick printing, full color, very handy. Probably never actually used; pages pristine, but binding with a couple blemishes probably from shipping.
