Chicago Postal Markings
and Postal History
By Leonard Piszkiewicz                          $75.00
Winner of the Literature Grand Award at Chicagopex ‘07, Chicago Postal Markings and Postal History is the culmination of more than 25 years accumulating Chicago postal history items by its author. This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of markings usage for all markings known used in Chicago from its beginnings as a post office in 1831 until the mid-1950s, when standardization and streamlining of Post Office operations eliminated most of the makings used earlier. However, the book includes those types of markings that continued to the end of the 20th century and are of interest to collectors (e.g., airmail, registry). 576 pages...packed with illustrations.

Passed By Army Censor
By Richard W. Helbock $45.00
A catalogue of censor markings used on mail from American soldiers and War Department civilians assigned overseas in 1941 and 1942. The book is organized chronologically/geographically according to the major world regions in which U.S. Army and Air Corps personnel were assigned during 1941-42. The book is really unprecedented, with nothing like it having ever been published. If you have any interest at all in modern 20th century U.S. postal history and/or World War II postal history, this is a “must have” book! A modern philatelic classic.
