Great to get these 2 - the Delandre book is hard to get & the Billig's is the last 3rd rev. edition

Anyone need something -Just PM me

Wasn't hard at all Ryan. Well worth it. I knew I'd found it for a reason.
Enjoy

A Christmas gift from my children.

Volume 1 of the American Stampless Cover Catalog was acquired several years ago during my "stampless folded letter" phase. The catalog is available online. Volume 2 is also available.

Continued from Page 6.

This 9" x 11" hardbound catalog for Nutmeg Stamp Auctions' Public & Mail Auction 27 held June 21-23, 2000 arrived today. The sale involved disposition of the Jon E. Bischel collection of postally-used Civil War patriotic covers. Its 380+ glossy pages contain over 6,000 lots with each lot being shown with a color image. I found the book on Amazon and thought it might be useful in lieu of a catalog so I bought it for the amazingly low price of $8.99, delivery included! 

So much information for just one stamp ...

Some new additions

A couple of general interest books added to the library recently.

Canada's Postage Stamps by Douglas and Mary Patrick (McClelland and Stewart 1964)



Stamps Their Lure and Lore by Ken Conoley (Longmans1967)

Thank you for the links!  Very thoughtful of you.

Since revenue stamps aren't used any more your older catalogue will remain useful for a long time.  Probably the only section that will see updated listings from 2009 onward will be the hunting / wildlife conservation section.  Prices will continue to be updated and new discoveries will perhaps make small changes to the main body of listings but unless you're a real serious revenue collector (or you're a buyer of current hunting & fishing stamps), I bet you'll be happy with the 2009 edition and will see no need to ever update it.

Recent addition from a flea market - 50c
Havent seenthis one before - probably 1950's

Congrats, James, on getting what you wanted for Christmas--it looks great!

As for me, I did not get this book pictured below for Christmas, but I did get it at a local stamp club meeting in Arizona in the last couple of months, and I thought it was quite interesting.  This would be a nice item for any U.S. classics collector.
