Color in Philately by R. H. White Philatelic articles on color of various stamps are of interest. The binding is poor and we expect pages to fall out with normal use. This book is not to be confused with a color guide for stamps but a discussion of color with some illustrations in color. 1979, 175 pages with 16 bound in plates; pocket contains one errata slip, 12 cards having color charts and a booklet, complete as issued, $60.00 sold out, incomplete copies lacking 12 card plates, $25.00 please enquire

Pictorial Treasury of U.S. Stamps A well done general book on U.S. adhesive postage stamps, quite attractive, popular as a gift for a new collector; not as detailed as a Scott Catalog but much easier to use and more attractive, a friend found a remainder and shared it with us. The color illustrations are quite good, catalog prices are given for 1925, 35, 45, 55, 65 and 75. 1974, 223 pages, cloth, in color $20.00

Richard M. Morris

Pittsboro Guides

• The Two Cent Stamp of the Small Bank Note Issue of 1890 by Richard M. Morris Exploring Relief Breaks, Papers and Shades, a useful booklet, 2003, 40 pages with two pages of color chips and a black out mask, spiral bound, autographed, $25.00
• Specialized Color Guides for US Stamps by Richard M. Morris Covers the 3¢ 1851-57, 3¢ 1861-68, 2¢ 1890 and 2¢ 1895-1903, The two editions are quite similar as to color identification however the text differs. We prefer the original edition as the chips are mounted on a non-surfaced paper and you do not get the glare of the Scott edition.

  • 2005, spiral bound and boxed, Scott edition, sold out
• Color Guide System for Canada, by Richard M. Morris Covers the Large & Small Queens, Widows Weeds, Registration Stamps, Engraved Post Cards and Third BIll Stamps 2002 revised and expanded edition, prong bound, edition of 25, sold out
