REFERENCES World Railways Philatelic, by Norman E. Wright, Sr., ATA Handbook 138, published by the American Topical Association. This is available in printed format, in four parts, the main publication plus three supplements; and in CD-ROM format, complete through June, 2002. See this web page for more information. It includes a relatively complete listing of the Romanian issues through 1998. Postal Stationery Associated with Railways, Romania, 1920-2000, by Hans Eriksson, published by the author, Stockholm, Sweden, 2001. According to the introduction, this is "a catalogue containing all postal stationery with railway, tram and aerial rope way motives" issued by Romania. With text in Swedish, English and German, it includes a concise but detailed listing of all items known to its author, comprising some 137 different postcards, 308 envelopes, 311 picture postal cards, and 95 receipt cards (plus many varieties) in the Railways and Tramways section, with illustrations of the earlier items that lack unique postal identifiers (Cod no). At the date I am publishing this (1/12/2003), the author reported that he still had copies for sale, for $17 plus $9 postage. Write him at Storvretsvägen 141, SE-16347 SPÅNGA, Sweden. Email: hans_eriksson00@hotmail.com Hans Eriksson has published other catalogs, some for postal stationery only, some including both stamps and postal stationery, and some of these are still available. He plans to issue further catalogs like the one for Romania. Write him for more information.
