Can anybody please tell me, what are the contents of H.R. Pfau's catalogues?

I know there are four volumes, but are they divided by year? by cities? by subject?

According to the bibliography presented here:
This first part describes the stamps and postmarks edited in the Soviet Union, as well as airmail and picture cards about spaceflight.

This second part describes the side-postmarks (Nebenstempel), vignettes and letters edited in the Soviet Union on the occasion of spaceflight activities.

This fourth part describes the postcards, picture postcards and maximum cards edited in the Soviet Union.

Unfortunately, the site does not provide a description of the third volume.

Interestingly, I have never seen a Volume III or a topic for it written up.

My guess is that it was planned but never produced? Or maybe was to be an extension of Volumes I and/or II?

All times are CT (US)
