BOHEMIA & MORAVIA - A COLLECTOR'S NOTEBOOK (B.63)
Handbook (1st edition) covering a selection of aspects of the postal history of Bohemia & Moravia in WWII under German occupation. The chapters on "Postal Rates" and on "Post Office listing" spring to mind as being alone worth the cost of the book. This 1st edition contains marginally less detail in the camp and KLV section, and a few snippets in other sections, but is only 2 pages shorter than the 2nd edition and is half the price! Just one copy left, to clear.
