Philately as you’ve never seen it before
So’Philatélie & Co offers a 360° view of the world of philately, treating it as a fully-fledged part of culture. The magazine invites readers to take a close look at stamps and explains, step by step, term by term, the different philatelic specialities. It also connects philatelic activity with letter-writing and all objects linked to correspondence.
To give a broader perspective, So’Philatélie & Co takes small side steps to bring in outside views on stamps and letters. A fresh breeze is blowing through philatelic publishing!

This is a new book, a visual and documentary tour of Prague’s postal and Scout services during the turbulent transition years between the wars.
Discover the untold story of how scouts and seals brought a nation’s hope. The map of Europe was transformed with the end of World War I, creating new nations by ethnic groups, one of them being Czechoslovakia. In its early days, the new republic and Prague, its capital, needed a secure, reliable, and fast postal service between the National Liberation Committee and other government offices.
Through archival documents, rare and unpublished stamps, envelopes, maps and original photographs, this publication sheds light on the extraordinary role of Czech Scouts in maintaining civic and national identity through postal communication.
