The International Society of Guatemala Collectors https://guatemalastamps.com/ have recently released their impressive catalogue of that country's stamps & postal stationery and generously made it available for free download on their site.

Very comprehensive, with detailed information on printing, plating, varieties, forgeries, etc from the beginning to 2021. At 1073 pages in colour it is a very large PDF (~800 MB), so fair warning on that.

@thinkstamp - no, I don't know, although I doubt it as it would be an expensive endeavour for a low print run. I'd suggest reaching out to the society.

With the right formatting (and another scan to correct a few typos), they could offer it as print on demand, at essentially no cost to them.

The file is almost 1GB.
I'm afraid it will give my 20 year old compute one hell-of-a headache eve if I could figure out how to unzip it.
