Philatelic manual
A philatelic handbook contains detailed information on printing, edition, use, background information, etc. about philatelic collectibles. Sometimes there are flowing transitions or mixed forms between manuals , monographs and stamp catalogs . Individual manual projects went so deep or were planned so comprehensively that they could not be completed in the end. The processing was sometimes so complex and extensive that it brought the publishers into financial difficulties or even led to bankruptcy.
