The CCC aggressively solicits for publication all manuscripts reflecting original philatelic research, regardless of the subject matter, or its perceived esoterica content.
Manuscripts by CCC members and non-members are submitted to the Chairperson of the CCC Publications Committee. The chairperson of this committee thoroughly reviews all manuscripts, and presents recommendations to the CCC Board of Directors. Final approval for the publication of an original philatelic manuscript under the CCC aegis remains with the Board of Directors.
If the manuscript is approved for publication, the chairperson readies the manuscript for the printer, consults with the CCC Board of Directors as to the number of copies to be printed, and arranges to have the printed book(s) distributed to the prearranged recipients.
The CCC Publications Committee Chairperson is Dan Undersander. Should you wish to have your book published by the CCC, the first contact is via email:
