Philatelic Literature Dealers (Stamp Book Sellers)

Hi. Does anyone recommend/know any philatelic/stamp literature/book dealers/sellers? Thanks.

I like auction sites personally. You should be able to find what you nee without too much effort.

Hi: See this link for a few sources......Phil Bansner has been mentioned on here before, L. Hartman seems to have an extensive stock.

My experience is that used books on any philatelic topic can be purchased for less from the dealers affiliated with Amazon, ABE, and even ebay than from a stamp dealer.

"My experience is that used books on any philatelic topic can be purchased for less from the dealers affiliated with Amazon, ABE, and even ebay than from a stamp dealer." Quite true, but it often depends on what you are looking for, the OP doesn't mention any particulars. You could wait a long time for some specialist works to come up on ebay......so if it is a case of "I must have this now.", a dealer may be your only bet.

I prefer auction sites as well. With a little patience you should be able for find anything at a reasonable price.

I've been purchasing from Leonard Hartmann for years.

There are always great auctions going on around the country, including club auctions, philatelic exhibition auctions, ebay, and so on.

Additionally, there are a couple of philatelic libraries that sell donated books at great prices.

The Northwest Philatelic Library always has books for sale, along with books that can be checked out. I'm having a hard time finding that list on the website, but you can contact Orlie Trier at nwpl@qwestoffice.net for a complete list of books for sale. Some are very reasonably priced!

Additionally, you can contact Sergio Lugo at the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Society for a list of books they have for sale as well (rmpl@qwestoffice.net)
