BOOKS on PHILATELY BOOKS on PHILATELYDear Friends
This newsletter has much repeats from the previous two that had little distribution however There are additions, corrections, and deletions as appropriate. September for us has been quite complex from the weather and other problems.but have been had time now and then to work up some major long runs such as the Philatelic Literature Review, Collectors Club Philatelist and hopefully the Siegel catalogs, all we can offer as long runs for those interested. We will be in Italy Oct 1st -12th but can get orders, out before then.
We need some issues of the Philatelic Literature Review, 2nd series, between No. 1 and 39.
