A few months ago, I discovered digital copies of "The United States Postage Stamps of the 19TH Century" by Lester G. Brookman on the United States Philatelic Classics Society webpage -


http://www.uspcs.org/resource-cente...nic-library/


I decided I needed to have these on paper and am EXCITED to have found a good deal for the set of these three books on ebay this past weekend along with another Brookman book, "Notes on the Grilled Issues of the U.S." - all for less than $100.

There are still good deals to be had on these! There's a set on ebay that will be closing in two days and is currently at $47 for the set of three books.

Cheers!

To tell the truth, I don't know. They are listed with a copyright of 1966 and "contains additions and corrections".

Here's the listing ...

I believe the USPCS is in the process of revising the work, so there will be a new edition forthcoming.
