PHILATELIC BIBLIOPOLE: LEONARD HARTMANN

  Dave Bowers adds: "If you need a filler for The E-Sylum, you
  might attach the following stuff from Leonard Hartmann, dealer
  in PHILATELIC books, but with lots of stuff that is cross-over
  into numismatic areas.  For example, I just bought a full run of
  the Essay-Proof Journal from him, superb copies), books on
  Gold Rush steamers (they carried letters with stamps as well
  as coins), etc.  I have never met LHH in person, but he deals
  in a first-class manner.]

  Dave attached a copy of the June 23, 2004 issue of Hartmann's
  email newsletter, Friends of the Bibliopole, which listed several
  new items for sale.  While we don't publish individual buy and
  sell listings in The E-Sylum, we always feature new publications
  of interest as well as announcements of literature sales, fixed
  price lists, and web sites.

  The literature of the stamp collecting hobby is an interesting
  parallel universe to numismatics, and as Dave mentioned,
  there are a number of areas where the two fields cross.  The
  most obvious area is that of Encased Postage Stamps, which
  I collect, but also, for example, in the histories of bank note
  printing companies, many of which also printed stamps.  I
  also have a set of The Essay-Proof Journal, and it's a great
  resource for this sort of information.  Other crossover areas
  include the Sanitary Fairs of the U.S. Civil War, which
  generated both philatelic and numismatic items (tokens).
  In the 19th century, many periodicals and dealer organs
  discussed BOTH stamps and coins, so many of these
  publications are of interest to bibliophiles in both fields.
