Jones, is a detailed catalogue of each stamp issued during the time and a complete reference to the political and historical matters that influenced the creation of the philately of the Third Reich. The volume builds upon the 1966 book by Alf Harper and W. Scheck entitled The Stamps of Germany Third Reich. Enhanced with research conducted through the Germany and Colonies Philatelic Society and the Third Reich Study Group, both in Great Britain, The Philately of Third Reich Germany 1933-1945 expands, updates and corrects the Harper work including full-color illustrations throughout of all the stamps, miniature sheets and booklets, plus special postcards and postmarks used on the stamp issues. This book also discusses relevant political and historical matters, helping the reader further understand the everyday climate in Germany and Europe at that time. This sets the publication apart from any other Third Reich Philately reference and and provides a unique glimpse into World War II Germany. •All stamps, miniature sheets, booklets, special postal cards and special cancels made for the stamp issues are shown in full color.•All stamps are shown in accurate color, described with ‘issue date’, ‘valid until date’, ‘design by’, ‘type of printing’, ‘printing format’, ‘watermark’, ‘perforation’, and for the first time ‘gum type’.•All booklets are shown with complete panes and covers (both inside and out) and printed interleavings and printing formats.•All postal cards are shown in color and described with ‘issue dates’, ‘valid until dates’, ‘indicia’ and ‘type of card stock’.•All stamps, stamp booklets, miniature sheets, and postal cards are identified by the ‘Michel’ numbering system.•All errors found in Alf Harper’s 1967 work have been revised to reflect the information available at time of printing of this book. All dust jackets for hardcover books are protected with clear plastic, fully removalbe covers. These will protect the dust jacket forever, keeping it in new condition for the life of the book. These are especially handy for the large oversize books whose jackets easily get torn as you might have noticed when browsing in bookstores. These are not a permanent part of the jacket, if you don't like it you can easily remove it without damaging the jacket. I cover all hardcover books with these covers and there are so popular that many customers buy them from me to put on books in their own collection.All books are entirely in English unless noted otherwise.

I SHIP ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET.Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
