Specialist philatelic reference set consisting of two catalogue guide volumes covering charity stamps of the Russian Soldier's Aid Committees, 1922 to 1926. This two volume grouping includes an earlier English edition and a later revised second edition, both presenting detailed study of non postal Russian issues used to raise funds during the post revolutionary period. These stamps fall within the broader category of semi postal, charity, and non postal emissions, an area of growing interest among advanced collectors. The catalogs provide structured listings, classifications, and contextual background on issues commonly referred to by collectors as social fund or charity stamps. Material includes all Russian issues, local issues, identification keys, and supporting references, offering a focused research tool for this specialized field. Non postal Russian material, particularly early Soviet era charity emissions, remains under cataloged compared to mainstream postage stamps, making dedicated references such as these increasingly valuable. From the library of the poet and anthropologist Nathaniel Tarn, born Edward Michael Mendelson, whose collection included extensive philatelic research material across multiple specialties. A strong specialist set for collectors of Russian, Soviet, and non postal philately.
