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.

Stella Catalog of Denmark - Softbound: (King-Farlow, 1951) The classic English-language Danish catalog, including supplementary photo pages, 1952 price list, and 1954 and 1957 supplements. A combination of handbook and catalog, this is one of the most important early post-WWII books that helped to popularize Danish philately in the UK and North America. Using it today you will hardly notice that it was written over 60 years ago! Excellent used condition with NO pages loose as is usually found. With original dust jacket, but worn jacket as usual. Much better than usual quality.

Stamps, People, and Philately: (Ranten, Nielsen, Jensen, 1969; Frimærker Folk og Filateli) A very nicely produced book that is little known outside of Denmark. Discusses Danish stamps and philately; is virtually an encyclopedia of Danish philately covering a tremendous range of subjects. I especially note the information about Danish forgeries. (This book appears to have been a model for the Icelandic "100 Years" book.) Very readable format, though completely in Danish. Hardbound, color illustrated, 247 pages. Includes ESSAY of Scott #463 4-block that alone sells for $60! A must-have book for every serious collector of Denmark. (Also #13114.)

Denmark Stamp Booklets Catalogue - Boom 1994: (Boom, 1994) Completely updated and expanded ENGLISH-language catalog of the booklets of Denmark, Faroe, and Greenland, including the booklet panes, advertising booklets, "slots", etc. The primary booklet catalog and still the best by far. Long out of print, but while this example is "used", it looks absolutely brand new (the binding shows no sign of having been opened; better than some new copies I have seen. An invaluable catalog that is in such good quality that I really should keep it for my own library.

Danish Letter Collection Office Cancellations After 1929 (Starless and PR Cancels): (Thomassen, 1952; De Danske Brevsamlingsstempler Efter 1929) Listings start after the star cancels were phased out and the starless (udslebne) cancels introduced; following with the "PR" bridge-style cancellations which replaced the starless postmarks. One of the early publications that helped develop the interest in star and starless cancels. It is always nice to have one of the "classics". Seldom seen. Excellent condition.

Danish UN Forces in Gaza 1956-1967 including English Supplement: (E. Menne Larsen, Posthistorisk Forlag, 1979; Den danske FN-styrke i Gaza DANOR BN UNEF 1956-67) Described as a handbook and catalog, it is the only book I can think of on this subject that includes all aspects of this unusual postal history subject and the postmarks. Includes separate (and scarce!) ENGLISH summary with PRICING. Only 250 numbered and 50 unnumbered books issued; this is a numbered edition. I believe that it has been out of print since the mid-1980s. Very much sought after by several collecting groups. Pre-owned, but excellent condition and appears to never have been used.

Denmark Revenues catalogs: Group of two photocopies of earlier Danish revenues catalog listings. "Stempel Mærker 1974" listing and pricing the basic documentary revenue stamps; originally 6 pages copied onto 3 pages. "Stempelmarkenkatalog der Nordischen Staaten, I Danmark, II Danish West Indies" published in 1951 in Helsinki, listing and pricing mostly just the documentary and playing card revenues with German and English text; originally 12 pages copied onto 6 pages. Obviously both quite dated, but still interesting and useful perspective.
