The “Philatelic Bookshop” no. 26
The libreriastorica.com is born
Two catalogues in one. This is the most important and new feature of the year. The
“Philatelic Bookshop” has branched out into two sections: next to the postal world a
completely new part has been introduced, dedicated to history, as well as the military,
aviation and naval history...
In addition to the series by numerous publishers that we have been distributing for
years, now expanded, the “History Bookshop” offers two centuries of history and
military history. There are more than 400 titles and lots of new additions by major
Italian publishers, which are categorized in historical order along with a selection of
volumes including the most requested topics.
Just turn the catalogue upside down!
The “History Bookshop” website is now online at www.libreriastorica.com and will be regularly updated with new arrivals.
New publications from the “Philatelic Bookshop”
The “Philatelic Bookshop” will continue to offer a vast assortment of philatelic works, postal history,
and collecting.
In the general part of this catalogue there are 539 titles with 66 new ones, the latest publications and all
the new editions of the annual catalogues.
Not to be forgotten is the section of the 1x1 sale which offers 850 titles, new and used books on philately,
Italian and foreign postal history, military post, maritime and air mail, magazines, catalogues, postal
regulations and decrees.
There are also 58 books which are offered as a “free” gift and listed on pages 81 and 82: a significant
promotion to award those who buy from our virtual shop or by mail.

PRESS RELEASE
Vignola, 26 September 2008
The lastest books published by Vaccari
http://www.vaccari.it/editoria/miv/index.php?SetLanguage=en
Among the new titles published by us from the end of 2007, some volumes are particularly important.
Considerable the work by Mario Mentaschi and Thomas Mathà. For the presentation of their collection
they were given the Tilleard medal by the Royal Philatelic Society of London. Their work is entitled
“Letter Mail from and to the Old Italian States 1850-1870”; it has been added to the series “History
through documents” and was presented on the occasion of Milanofil on 8 March. It is the first volume to
be published in Italy which discusses the postal routes and international rates for mail from and to the Old
Italian States. It has been written in English so as to gain a wider audience at an international level.

In suite of the high demand and great success of “Letter Mail”, which has gained recognition at a public
level and at major international exhibitions, we have decided to proceed with the publication of
“Corrispondenze da e per gli Antichi Stati Italiani 1850-1870”, the Italian translation to accompany the
original work.
In the series “Recoveries” the monograph “Ducato di Parma e Governo Provisorio. Raccolta di studi” has
been added. It is a series of studies which give an in depth look at the issues of Parma, starting from the
first works by the master of philately, Emilio Diena, and continuing with those by Paolo Vaccari, which
are published as articles in the “Vaccari Magazine”.

In the same series the monograph “I francobolli del Regno di Napoli e i due provvisori da mezzo tornese
del 1860” is rightly considered Emilio Diena’s masterpiece. With a new graphic layout, it is a reprint of
the 1992 edition featuring a preface by Enzo Diena, which sold out long ago. Three plates reproducing the
varieties of the 1/2 tornese Savoy Cross stamps are included in the volume.
The work in progress “Filatelica, la filatelia nel III millennio. Atti del secondo congresso nazionale” is a
series of articles which cover the topics which were discussed during the meeting at the Rocca dei
Bentivoglio in Bazzano (Bologna) on 14 and 15 June 2008. The collections exhibited on this occasion are
also presented in this work.
Twenty years of the “Magazine”
www.vaccarimagazine.it
At Veronafil, in November, the fortieth issue of “Vaccari Magazine”, the magazine of philatelic and
postal history information, will be presented. Since the magazine is published on a six-monthly basis,
twenty years have passed since the first issue, a turning point that will be celebrated during the
convention. A free analytical index will be given to the magazine subscribers.
