Books Desccribing Stamp Prining Methods (Old Or New)

I was looking for a philatelic book that describes the various printing methods used for stamps (old or new book)?

To be more precise, looking for any book that would describe methods and processes used for printing postage stamps (i.e. gravure method)

Many thanks for any guidance

Fundamentals of Philately by L. N. Williams illustrates a number of different printing processes and has a wealth of other philatelic useful information. The 2nd edition is available from the APS for $60 to non-members and $48.00 to members. The first edition can often be found on E-Bay for less. The first edition has better illustrations and slightly less information. The 2nd edition was produced by copying the photos in the first edition. At this time there is only one copy of the 2nd edition (2008 revised) for $32.50 plus shipping of $6.50.

Printing Postage Stamps by Line Engraving: Baxter, James H.

Postage Stamps in the Making: John Easton, F. J. Melville

As said: Fundamentals of Philately by L. N. Williams is a pretty good book, and has good sections on all printing processes.

I picked this one up in a used book store. It says revised edition 1990 (first was 1971). I don't think the previous owner had ever read it, as it cracked open as for the first time when opened.

It has other uses also. Sometimes when I can't sleep I'll read a few pages. Works every time.

It's a very good book!

I second that.
