The British Society of Russian Philately (BSRP) in conjunction with David Feldman SA are in the process of preparing a series of books covering many aspects of Russian philately.
BATUM UNDER OCCUPATION the years 1917-1921 by H G Grigoleit and E Klempka is the first in a series to be produced by the publishers, and has been funded by the kind sponsorship of David Feldman SA.
140 pages covering the postal history and stamps of the Occupation period 1917-21, this book is an important update of earlier works on this subject, which were produced in the pre-computer days when text, and in particular, illustrations were difficult to produce. It contains numerous illustrations, covers the stamps issued during the occupation period, and the postal history of both civilian and military mail.
Members of the British Society of Russian Philately will receive a complimentary copy. Members of ROSSICA, The German Society of Russian Philatelists and other societies will be offered complementary copies on request. Additional copies of the book will be available from the secretary of BSRP at £35 plus p&p.
Future titles under consideration will cover the published notes and works of Dr Raymond Casey, the Russian Civil War, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
