BILDERBRIEFE mail art.
Splendid book edition on the origins of mail art, from the archives of Staeck and friends.
A selective approach but with excellent historic documents on how mail art was rebel art for all dictatorships in the world, focus on the former eastern german republic and south america.
Texts are in german only, so a loss for all who cannot read that tongue.
But for the rest: 140 pages of pure delight !!!

Issued in 2008, but still available today, is 'Envelopes' by Harriet Russell. I would like to recommend it. She has a very creative mind, and did not write addresses on the envelopes in a common way, but made all kind of puzzles of it.
Some excerpts from this very inspiring book:
Great ideas, aren't they?!
See here for more pictures of these envelopes published in this Mail-company challenging book. Most of them arrived safe and sound!

Not a book about mail art specificly, but 1) the book has sent to me by mail, and 2) inside, on pages 30 and 31, there are some interesting mail related things.
Besides that, the company has organised a contest on 'strange mail' (and my contribution made them send me books).
Here some interesting mail artistic excerpts of this book:

Long live the second hand / antiquarian bookshops (and the internet to find them)!
This historical book (with some wellknown names inside) is about the mail art scene in the former DDR. Very interesting to read (alas it's written in German only) and many interesting pictures.
About mail art, mail artists in Germany and worldwide, about art, and about censorship by the national security (which might have changed since then in East-Germany, but which still exists in the present times in other countries, so 'history' is a relative concept).

We spotted a nice thick paperback in a bookshop recently in Berlin called Art Postal I think? All the text was in German but lots of great pictures throughout. Tried to Google it but no luck. Anybody have that one?

Although increasingly appreciated in fine art and stamp collecting circles, artist postage stamps, or artistamps, are more likely to be traded between the people who create them than they are to be exhibited in commercial art galleries or read about in philatelic journals. Artistamps are part and parcel of the grassroots network known as Mail Art, an alternative art of creative long-distance communication that intuited the demand for cross-cultural exchange long before the Internet. Although seemingly rigid, the postage stamp format allows flexible approaches in painting, watercolor, offset, photography, photocopy, rubber-stamping, engraving, digitization and sculpture.
