Pools handboek - Polish Handbook - Podręcznik Specjalizowany Polskich Znaczków Pocztowych 1944-1999

In the first week of January 2003 a thick parcel form Poland arrived by mail. It turned out to be a huge surprise: The "Podręcznik Specjalizowany Polskich Znaczków Pocztowych 1944-1999" written by Adam Kiełbasa-Schoeni and Stanisław Fołta. I hadn't expected such a book to ever arise - let alone in the near future - and after a few weeks I 'm still convinced that it is some sort of miracle that it did appear...

My Polish friend Stefan Jakucewicz who is responsible for describing the technical aspects of stamp production in this book asked me to send in my comments in that field. I have already made a start and sent him my first remarks.

I did realize that whatever remarks I would make, it wouldn't deminish the value what had been accomplished sofar by messrs Adam Kiełbasa-Schoeni and Stanisław Fołta.

I also realized that my first remarks - written in Polish - might be of interest to other Polish specialists. This is why I'm publishing these web-pages, hoping also that others may respond to me .


From a printing technical point of view, modern Polish philately has at least 2 fields in which a lot of research is left to be done:

I won't be able to tackle everything at once, so I'll start dealing with things at a slow pace.... Every now and then I willl upload an updated chapter.
