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.
(U.S.) Transportation Issue Plate Number Coil Stamps: (1987, Agris) Massive 332-page hardbound book packed with interesting and useful information for any collector of these stamps. I have never seen a copy offered for sale and a recent web search did not turn up any -- this price may be far too low?? Good used condition with some minor foxing on the flyleaves, but otherwise the interior is like new. (Old #60576)

Postage Stamps of the United States 1847-1949: A pristine example of this extremely interesting and useful official post office book. Remarkably well-done handbook with LOTS of interesting and quite readable text about the stamp issues, etc. If you collect U.S. stamps, you will find this fascinating. Softbound, 185 pages. This is a pristine, like-new copy that has never been read; the spine has never been "opened". Whether for reading or collecting, you could not find a better example.
J.W. Philometer Compendium (United States Postage Meter Imprints): (Jos. Whitebourgh, 1957) This 1957 First Edition was a pioneer publication in a new collecting area: postage meter imprints. Hardbound with 211 + XXV pages. An extremely interesting, comprehensive, thorough, well-illustrated, priced catalog / handbook of this fascinating area. Even in 1957 there were meter imprints valued in the hundreds of dollars. The author was a long-time collector and dealer, as well as an experienced philatelic writer; he knew how to properly present his subject. Surely there are newer catalogs, but this is a real gem -- and perhaps you could use it to make rare finds. This is a pristine, NEW copy that has never been read; the spine has never been "opened" and it is still in its original shipping box. Whether for reading or collecting, you could not find a better example. Perhaps you can find a cheaper copy somewhere, but you will not find a nicer copy.
