Our society was founded on the principle of providing educational resources as one of its primary goals. A longtime project in support of that goal has finally come to fruition. Hardbound editions of the Society's publication, The News Of Hungarian Philately (published since the establishment of the SHP in 1970), are now available for sale. The binding of each volume is done in a dark wine garnet shade, simulated leather appearance with gold lettering denoting the title of The News of Hungarian Philately on the spine, the volume numbers, and the years it covers. Each volume represents a three-year time frame. The contents of the early volumes could only be reproduced via copying, but are still presentable. Later volumes are produced using actual copies of the newsletter as they were initially issued and are bound together in the proper sequence. At this time, no indexing for easier reference of material has been done on subjects or titles, but it will be a future project.

Now, why would someone want this? Individuals who collect philatelic material are always seeking complete sets of journals on certain topics. What better way to have that data collected than in bound editions? Individuals who specialize in certain fields often can find data only in older publications, and we hope this serves that community. Lastly, for neatness and quick access when needed, these book-like publications can sit on your reference library shelf instead of just as a stack of quarterly journals in a corner of your stamp room. How about buying them as a gift for a philatelist friend, your local library (take a tax donation!), a cultural center, youth club or similar recipient?

Although some of the sets and individual volumes have already been purchased, the following volumes are still available for sale. Please contact Alan Hoover for any additional details. Remember that we are always looking to collect any editions of The News and to turn them into such bound volumes. Should you wish to donate your copies to this effort, please contact Alan.

Each volume individually is priced at $30.00 or purchase the entire set of 11 for $320.00 post-paid to any US destination. Freight fees to destinations outside the US will be added to all orders.
