Research is a vital part of philately. Over the years, I have collected a significant library of specialized stamp catalogues and literature to better understand the history behind the stamps. This page lists a small part of my current library, with a focus on Russian Zemstvos, Hungarian philately, and specialized European catalogues. These resources are essential for identifying rare varieties and understanding postal history.
