POLSKIE OBLIGACJE PAŃSTWOWE 1918 - 1939 POLISH STATE BONDS
"Collecting is not only the accumulation of objects but also the gathering of information about these objects." , says Piotr Bykowski from Poland. In 2004 Piotr published a 100 page study about bonds issued during the Second Polish Republic. Mr. Bykowski's work, written in Polish, includes English chapter titles and contains images of most types of certificates. You can find the work online and download it here. A great reference work. The author, a fervent traveller and motorcyclist, is grateful for any opinions and feedback. You can contact him by email, pibykster@gmail.com or through his blog.

The World's Airlines - Past, Present & Future
There is not a single image of an airline's stock certificate present, but still, The World's Airlines is a great reference place for any collector of aviation scripophily. The author has currently 17871 airlines listed in his database (latest release 30th March 2014). Amazing. As a test, I checked out Brazil and counted more than 250 airlines. You can follow the author on Twitter here.
