The handbook and catalogue 한국우편요금계기인 or “Study of Meter Franking Stamps in Korea” was published by the 부산우취회 / Busan Philatelic Club in 1996 on the 40th anniversary of the founding of the BPC. Besides approx. 40 pages of explanations and introductions the handbook contains numerous pictures of individual meter marks and accompanying slogans, spread out over 288 pages.
The (general) table of contents as listed in the handbook:
- Messages/preface (7-18)
- Outline of Korean Meter Stamps (19-45)
- Kinds of Korean Meter Stamps (46-218)
