Bibliography and Research Material Used for this Site.

The following is a list of the books and research articles that I use to help me create this website.
Peter Vogel emailed me and suggested this be done, and he is completely right. Information yearns to be free. Knowledge is power! The list is by no means complete and I will be adding more as time permits.

If you have a specific philatelic field of study, I recommend calling the Philatelic Bibliopole at (502) 451-0317. Ask for Leonard H. Hartmann. He usually has or knows how to get the hard to find stuff and is a wealth of knowledge. His website is www.pbbooks.com.
