The H.L. Lindquist Stamp Specialist Series...

An anthology of articles on U.S., CSA, BNA & foreign topics spread across 20 volumes issued between 1939 and 1948. We have had many requests for the contents of individual volumes. Therefore, we are now offering for sale individual volumes. Each volume is listed along with its respective U.S. and CSA articles noted. Please keep in mind that this series was published during the second world war.

Commodities like quality cloth and paper were scarce. While hardbound, the boards are covered with colored paper instead of cloth. The text in most instances is printed on a high sulfate paper that has yellowed with time. Most copies that do still exist will show chipping at the top and bottom edges of the spine. In most cases you’ll also find that the color of the spine has faded.

Complete sets offer a savings over individual volumes:
