This new and updated list includes considerably more data than previous resources.   A helpful feature of this new publication is an index of cards by the inscription on the cards face that indicates the name of the publisher.  Since many cards are difficult to identify, this is of great help to the collector. Color illustrations are included to define the style of various publishers, including previously unidentified publishers.

UNITED STATES DOANES / 2nd Edition

by Richard W. Helbock & Gary Anderson

Collecting Doane cancels - those easily identified pioneer rubber handstamps issued by the Post Office Department to thousands of small post offices between 1903 and 1906 - has become an increasingly popular specialty in U.S. postal history since the 1993 publication of the first edition of this work. As a result, thousands of new reports by collectors have helped the various state coordinators to vastly improve the coverage of many states. The current volume lists nearly 23,000 verified Doane cancels, an overall increase of over 50% from the 1993 edition. Includes a scarcity index for each listing.
