Notes from the Editor
Another change in this Report - it’s printed on laser paper to provide a whiter and more opaque finish, a suggestion from John Neefus. The only drawback is its 24 weight, meaning that we lose a couple of pages for each three ounces of postage. This issue will be limited to 22 pages, but the next Reports will be much fuller. Next time there will be more room for letters and color prints, which were squeezed out of of this one. Please feel free to send in Want Lists and we will try to work them in. Robin Pizer has sent in a 40-page manuscript on currency censoring of Danzig mail that will take quite a bit of space in future issues. Thanks to Otto Bergman, Hans Vogels, Dave Ripley and Roger Szymanski. for their contributions to this Report. Also helpful were articles in the Polonus Philatelic Study Group, Oost Europa Filatelie and the Infla Study Group of the GPS.

Historian Ernie Solit has come up with a series of books that were on a Library of Congress search that produced over 200 titles for John Gilroy. One of the better finds was a map of the Polish Post Office borders, which is clear enough to read all of the details. That will be valuable for the upcoming study of the post offices. Thanks for joining us for another exciting year in Danzig.
