Knihtisk

The Typographic Stamps of Czechoslovakia

Library

In the library you will find translations from Czech into English of books and articles chiefly associated with the typographic stamps of Czechoslovakia, but some other topics are available. Most were done by Knihtisk, but a few are translations or original works by other authors. As an added bonus, Knihtisk began publishing a set of indices to the 21st century issues of the Czechoslovak Specialist and added a page of pass-through links to the journal's online copies.

Here, freely available for all who are interested, is perhaps the largest collection of philatelic information about Czechoslovakian stamps in English. The books and articles are in PDF format. While they may be read online, they cannot be printed. Some may be purchased at a reasonable price from Knihtisk on CD, or on paper at a considerably higher price. However, not all of the documents are for sale. For example, the translations from the Monografie done for The Society for Czechoslovak Philately are for reference only.

Click on the links to the left to find material of interest to you. As more translations and articles come available, they will be added to the library. You are invited to submit articles you feel might be of interest to collectors of these stamps.
