Whats In Your Library?

Interesting list artlaunier

I could post mine in here as well, but, way too many and it would cut in to my time for other projects. I was always a believer in having a good reference library. These books always pay for themselves.

I just won that book as part of a box lot tonight on ebay - Did a little research on it and it looks like a great book. Glad I could see a pic of it here first. Pic in auction showed no dust jacket though. Really looking forward to this shipment.

Congratulations on winning the book Mike. Let us know what you think of it once you have read it.

Not a heck of a lot, I lost my Library in Hurricane Sandy. However I have replaced the important titles.

Hi Mike33,

Pleased to see you won the book. This is the cover of mine, a bit tatty and temporarily backed with (not stuck to) white art paper. Also here is a sample page. It is my favourite book on America's stamps, I am sure you will love it.

PS. Edited to add photo of authors/artists. TC.

Got the book yesterday and I love it. Will definitely be hitting the recliner this weekend to read though it

HI Mike33,

When I get the time (yeah, tell me) I plan to digitally restore the cover. I will let you know when I get it done and if you would like a reprinted dust wrapper send me your address in the US to my email on here and I will mail you one. Might be a while, but it is moving up the list of nice things I want to do.

Terry

Terrance: When you get around to that dust cover project, I'd love to get one also and would reimburse you for any costs to the US. Tried an email off line..... but I'm still a new member after all these months. John

Hi John,

Will be happy to do that. Not looking to make money on this, I was thinking of postage to US plus say a buck for the ink. Click on my name on left of post above. This will take you to my profile. Where it says 'contact information' click on 'send e-mail'. This will bring up the info including my e-mail address.

Hi Terry

That's a great idea and I'd love a copy when you get to it. Thanks for the offer

Hi Mike33,

I have already put you on the job sheet along with John Svennson.

Terry

Oddly enough it won't allow me to email you as it states that I am a New Member.....when the time comes, you can email me and I will paypal you and provide my mailing address. Thanks again. John

Hi John,

Will do.
