This week's question may sound a bit unusual since we are a postcard supplies dealer who do not sell very many books, but a postcard collector who is really just starting out in the hobby was trying to figure out how to find out more information on different types of postcards and to see if there were any more like the ones they already had. Thankfully we have the internet and can do much of this investigation from the comfort of our own homes. I explained that unlike Stamp Books and Coin Books where books are typically grouped by either Country or Year, Postcard Books are typically created by topic.
The easiest way is to search for the topic below followed by the word postcard on either a Google search or an Amazon search. For our collectors convenience, while certainly not exhaustive, to get started I have listed the types of topics I am familiar with that you can all use for your search on Postcard Books:
Advertising
Amusement Park
Animals
Artist Signed
Aviation
Black / Ethnic Postcards
Comic and Humor Postcards
Expo and Fair
Firefighting / Police
Fishing / Hunting
Flowers / Floral
Greetings / Holidays
Hospitals / Medical
Hotels
Indians / Native Americans
Jewish / Judaica
Lighthouses
Military
Music
Nursing
Painted Ladies
Pinups / Bathing Beauties
Presidents / Political
Railroad
Roadside America
Ships / Boats / Ocean Liners
Sports
Certainly not exhaustive of the millions of potential topics of Postcard Books, but hopefully it is helpful as a place to start. And when you are ready to organize your postcards, don't forget to take a look at all of our Postcard Albums
