Catalogue: "Strike, Courier and Local Post of the Elizabethan Era" - 2nd Ed. **UNUSED**Catalogue deals with a field of philately usually ignored and frequently scorned by traditional philatelists and postal historians - fee paid stamp and stationery prepared for the movement of letters, printed matter, bills and parcels , by other than conventional Canada Post service.These stamps and postal stationery were used as payment for strike services when the postal system was shut down and fo...r fast, reliable courier service even when it was operating - and of course, for philatelically inspired creations.Includes: interurban strike services, and cross-border strike services; Canada Post's Priority Post Envelopes; alternative corier services (i.e. Buffalo Air Express); urban services (i.e. Post Par)Includes details of the services, including which were totally philatelic fabrications, which were philatelically inspired but still performed genuine service, and which were pure commercial service ventures. Published by the author in 1992, this is a brand new, never used copy of this unique book. 84 pages; Retail $11.99 - Out of Print!Size 8-1/2" X 11" (28 X 21.5 cm)BNAPS Literature Review BNA TOPICS I MAY-JUNE 1984: In this first listing of special labels affixedto letters and parcels carried during Canadianpostal strikes, only those couriers issuing labelsare listed. The Editor acknowledges that mostof the services listed operated in Western Canada;he asks that details of any other services whichissued labels and operated during postal strikesbe sent to him. Valuations given are retail prices current in June, 1983.The catalogue does not list Express companieswhich carried mail on their routes duringthe postal strikes because these companies didnot Issue labels. For the same reason, apparently, utility companies, banks, etc. which deliveredmail and invoices to their customers are omitted.Perhaps mention should be made of operationssuch as that of the Burlington Public UtilitiesCommission which picked up and delivered mailof public utilities and banks, and applied a handstampwith an appropriate notation to the envelopescarried.The Inter-University Transit System, whichprovides 'free' mail service between universitiesin Ontario is not listed, even though labels areused, because the service is not available to thegeneral public. (This service operates regularly, and not just during mail strikes - Ed.)The catalogue states that proofs, missingand inverted values, and extra or inverted handoverprints are known on some issues of 'METRO'Emergency Mail Dispatch, but does not list them.Such information would be desirable. A descriptionof the special cancellation used on couriermail carried by Overseas Courier Services duringthe 1975 postal strike - when no labels were issued- would also be helpful.Notwithstanding these omissions, this cataloguemakes a significant contribution to postalliterature and helps preserve this phase of PostalHistory. It is hoped that, with the cooperationof philatelists, more information as to the waysmall was delivered during postal strikes can bepreserved so that an Addendum to the cataloguecan be issued.
