The overall display of the entries is similar to the prior two editions and it follows the First Part written by Earl Fossum more than 25 years ago. However, all the entries have been revised and corrected when erroneously described. Also I have added several new chapter in the subject index. As in the prior two editions I am listing all the articles printed in The Oxcart, Repertorio Filatelico Costarricense and Costa Rica Filatelica, even if they were not related to Costa Rica philately. The first two publication have been the only ones continuously published during this period and dedicated almost exclusively to the Costa Rican philately. Costa Rica Filatelica is also dedicated only to Costa Rica but it has been published sporadically in the last 25 years.
