Publications
One of the great strengths of the Brazil Philatelic Association is
the willingness of its members to share their knowledge of Brazilian
philately. All members are welcome to contribute to our
flagship publication, the quarterly journal Bull's Eyes. Some
of our members have also published books about Brazilian philately,
some of which were published by BPA.
The
Brazil Philatelic Association has published more than 150 issues of
its quarterly journal, Bull’s Eyes, since becoming an active APS
affiliate in 1970. All members are invited to submit articles for
the Bull's Eyes to share their expertise. BPA members also
have the privilege of placing free “advertisements” in each issue of
the journal — either to offer material for sale/trade, to post a
want list, to seek information from the collective knowledge of the
membership, or to establish contact with fellow members interested
in a particular collecting topic.

Mute
Cancellations of the Brazil EmpireCarimbos Mudos do Brasil Império
By James Alfred Dingler & Klerman Wanderley Lopes
From 1865 until the late 1870s, Brazilian stamps were canceled with "mute" cancellation stamps, the design of which were at the discretion of each local postmaster. Thousands of different designs were used, many of them quite beautiful. This book expands on the 1937 reference by Paulo Ayres, Catalogo de Carimbos, to provide illustrations of 4,767 different mute cancellations. In English and Portuguese.
Publisher: The Brazil Philatelic Association (2000), 208 pages.
