What resources/books would you recommend to learn more about printing techniques used in stamp production, perforations and how the machines looked like, paper types etc.
Thank you!

For production, perforations and what the machines looked like, I highly recommend Printing Postage Stamps by Line Engraving by James H. Baxter.

I have to agree with jogil on the L.N. Williams book. Everything you'd ever want to know about stamp production in the classic era...and more.
