philatelic literature
Philatelic literature is written material relating to philately, primarily information about postage stamps and postal history.
== Background to philatelic literature ==
Consider a letter found pressed between the pages of an old book, sent from a relative working in a remote part of the world. How did the letter get from there to here? Was there a company mail boat that carried it, or was there a remote town with its own post office? Was the sender in an independent country, or a colony too small to issue its own stamps? Why did the recipient's country accept the expense of carrying the letter the rest of the way, and if it didn't, how did it arrange to get paid for delivering the letter? Come to think of it, how did the letter cross the border? Philatelic and postal history research answer these sorts of questions, and the results are then published in a variety of books and journals.
Philatelic literature is held by stamp collectors and dealers, philatelic societies, and general and specialist libraries. The holdings of the British Library, for instance, are estimated at 30-35,000 works.〔(of Postage and Telegraph Stamps 4th ed 1895.jpg Philatelic Research at the British Library ) by David Beech, Barnet & District Philatelic Society, 2013.
