Kehr, Ernest A. and Cockrill, Philip - Egypt
The Posta Europea and 1984 Kehr Catalogue of Interpostals
Publisher: Philip Cockrill, Newbury, 1984.
Paperback, illustrated, 60 pages, slight foxing to the covers, pages clean, in Good condition.
The story of "Posta Europa", a private mail service by courier, is almost certainly unique in the annals of philately - a private mail company that became so efficient that the government of the country in which it operated eventually gave the Company the contract to run the major part of its postal service. The Company's circular adhesives, known as Interpostals, were catalogued by Ernest Kehr many years ago. This is a fully revised edition of Kehr's original work, with additional material by Philip Cockrill. Very well illustrated with drawings of the different types.

[Burrus, Maurice] - The "Burrus" Greece and Egypt
Publisher: Robson Lowe, London, 1962.
Auction catalogue, paperback, illustrated in black & white, 60 pages, with a photocopy of the prices realised, in Very Good condition.
Maurice Burrus was the last and the greatest of the famous general collectors. His vast stamp collection brought him a profound knowledge of philately and many of his studies demonstrated this ability. Almost every rarity was represented in his collection and it even exceeded in size, value and specialisation, that formed by Ferrary. The dispersal of the Burrus collection took five years and seventy-five separate auctions or private treaty sales. This Burrus catalogue features 438 lots of Greece, including a vast and magnificent array of the 1861 Paris Printing of the first issue, followed by sections of all the subsequent printings, plus later issues. The 116 lots of Egypt feature stamps and covers of the 1866 issue, the 1867-69 issue, 1872-79 issues, and later issues.
