Literature: World: Worldwide  
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.

MonacoPhil 2004 Exhibition Catalog: The exhibition "catalog" for MonacoPhil 2004 stamp show, an extravaganza of philatelic rarities. The term "catalog" is quite misleading. This is a incredible book of 192 pages, large format, full color, velvet-covered hardbound volume picturing many of the world philatelic rarities in full color. The book originally included a rare Slania-engraved souvenir card which is offered separately for $135! This book itself is equally rare, but nowhere near as costly, though it must have cost $100 each to produce! I offer the book separately as not all Slania collectors may want a copy of the book or pay shipping for it. Interestingly, the book includes an Ultramarine and Red (instead of Black and Red) picture of the rare souvenir card.

Collect ... Stamps (British, Isle of Man, Channel Islands): (Stanley Gibbons) THREE 1976-79 small catalogs in full color. Really attractive and quite handy even if the prices are dated. "British" is 1979 and First North American Edition, with prices in US$; complete basic priced catalog from 1840 plus listings for the watermark varieties. "Channel Islands" is 1976 Fifth Edition, catalogs the stamps, etc., but also the POSTAL MARKINGS from 1794 from Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, etc. "Isle of Man" is 1976 First Edition, with an extensive handbook/catalog of the POSTAL MARKINGS 1765-1973, plus the stamp issues. Very useful!
