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.
Islands Frimerker - En Kortfattet Oversikt: (Carl A. Pihl, 1946) An overview of Icelandic stamps and philately. Reprint (outprint) #3 from Norsk Filatelistisk Tidsskrift magazine, card bound, 27 pages. In Norwegian, well illustrated. Pihl is perhaps most well known for his work on Norwegian locals, but he had many interests. This was probably serialized in the magazine and then published all together in this form. The content is remarkably sophisticated, detailed, and specialized for the day. As an early post-WWII publication, this is extremely scarce; I believe it is only the second copy I have had (the other is in my library). Pristine condition except for a minor stain in the margin of second half of the pages.
