1867 - 1884
THE VI ISSUE OF AUSTRIA IN THE AUSTRIAN COASTLINE
(KUESTENLAND)
150th Anniversary 1867 - 2017

The book presents a large postal documentation of the Kuestenland, according to the office of departure, of destination, the rate, the means of transport, the agreements, quoting the most significant dates of postal-historical nature. Maps, posters and decrees have been inserted, all with short notes whose goal is to make their meaning clearer, placing them inside a precise geographical-historical context. Between the most significant dates to remember, 1 October 1869, when the first Correspondenz-karte or postcard in the world was introduced, 1 July 1875, year in which the Treaty of the General Union of Post entered into force and, on 1 August 1878, was renamed becoming Universal Postal Union, hence the various conventions between the States expired except for the Treaty of the Austrian-German League, that remained in force being the most beneficial for both communities. The opening year of the Post Offices, the types of cancellations known, the colour and the period of use are reported.

Catalogue and guide to collecting vinyl records of pop rock music produced in Italy

By means of a chronological reconstruction, the catalogue reports the market quotations of 360 complete vinyl record making produced in Italy, corresponding to more than 11,000 45 and 33 records.

In the second part, a lot of room is given to the performers of vinyl pop rock, with 130 biographic hints that help lovers to link record making to the artistic life of performers.
In the third and fourth part, the catalogue introduces, with hundreds of reproductions, the history and the imaging evolution of brands as protection of copyright together with the one of record companies and of their labels, giving to collectors an additional important support to identify original productions.
The fifth part, the main one, is based upon a selection of complete vinyl record making produced in Italy, with the relevant market quotations.
