Gillam, James H.
Treasures from the Misty Mountains: A Collector's Guide to Tolkien
It has been very difficult over the years for collectors to know just what has been produced from the works of Tolkien and where it can be purchased. There is not, and never has been any 'official' Lord of the Rings cataloging. Clear and specific documentation has been almost impossible to find, and any listing that has been available has been a patchwork at best. Over the last few years, the Internet has become a great source of assistance through various webrings that connect the many Lord of the Rings fans. This four color, highly graphic book will provide information on all things Tolkien; books, calendars, toys & movie memorabilia. Both the novice and die-hard collector will find this guide helpful and like the new trilogy from Peter Jackson, make us believe again. 208 Pages Book

Greetings from Canada - An Album of Unique Canadian Postcards from the Edwardian Era 1900-1916
188 pages. Illustrated in colour and black and white. The period between 1900 and 1916 was the golden age of the picture postcard in Canada; the craftsmanship evident in hand-tinted and lithographed "postals" was never surpassed, the craze for collecting and sending them never so widespread. In one year Canadians exchanged over 60 million of them, and today, as much-sought-after collectibles, these postcards present an enchantingly candid portrait of Edwardian Canada and its citizens. Average wear. Unmarked. Small patch of peeling from upper corner of front cover where price sticker was removed. Book

Murphy, Christopher Leo; Taylor, John K.(editor)
Facts, Fiction & Philately - United States of America & Canada
145 pages including index. A collection of historic curiosities that are, or may be, associated with North American postage stamps. For the stories presented in this work, numerous dusty history books and reference works have been researched for those little "gems" of information that present the "other side" to generally accepted beliefs and conceptions. Very often, historic information is based on what others wish us to believe rather than the truth. It is only through the passage of time that the shroud of deception wears thin and mouths silenced in death "speak from their graves" in tattered letters and faded diaries. Adds a new dimension to topical stamp collecting by introducting "Philatelic Curiosities" - strange, unusual and bizarre facts associated with postage stamps. Illustrated in black and white. Clean and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy. Book
