Is there a catalog of Chinese space covers? I read somewhere there was one published and would like to get a copy as my Chinese trading partner has been sending me Chinese space covers in trade. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

There has been a catalogue of space covers in China itself. I am aware of two volumes, one covering all covers until 1996, and the 2nd volume - just as big as the first - covers the new issues going from 1996 to 1998. Ever since, no new volume has been published, and my contacts in China told me there won't be any considering the high volume of work and the small sales figures achieved with the previous issues. I have both volumes, but as I don't speak Chinese, I can't tell you about author and publisher.
