NEW! – Available now
Specialized edition covering all stamps and special issues from 1850 to the present, including UN Vienna. All stamps are illustrated and valued in color – approx. 8,900 color images across 856 pages in hardcover.
In addition to stamp issues, the specialized catalog also includes printing and color varieties, plate flaws, misprints, and all other philatelic special items or features such as black and color prints, balloon mail, the Christkindl post office, the special issues of Austrian Post AG, and many other philatelic releases.
As every year, this edition has been thoroughly revised, supplemented, and expanded. Once again, many new plate flaws and numerous varieties and special features have been included. Many varieties, imperforate stamps, and trial prints that have only recently become known through the dissolution of the postal archive and auctions of collections have again been extensively documented and cataloged this year.
As in recent years, previously uncatalogued specialized studies of interesting philatelic areas have also been included in this edition as special sections.
