    Hi Karen.
    Most stamps that were used on post cards were low value stamps made in large quantities. In the United States they were 1 and 2 cent stamps. The type of valuable stamps that you may find on post cards are error stamps, rare perferation or rare colors of common stamps, special cancellations and back of the book stamps. I know of no english language book dealing with spicifically post card stamps, maybe someone else knows.

    As noted, the stamps used on postcards are the lowest-denomination stamps of any issuing country, and as such rarely attract a high catalogue value

    Of more interest, however, are postcards which have been sent abroad as they may carry a less common denomination stamp - look also for under-paid cards as they may have additional Taxe marking or postage due stamps affixed

    Cancellations, especially slogan cancels, can be another interesting (to some, anyway) area of study

    I can't think of any specific book on the subject to assist you, but I'm sure that a question posted on this forum will provide you with many of the answers you want

    In my experience, I have 1000's of postcards all with the same 1/2d, 1cent stamps on them. Even the early (1930's) commemoratives on postcards are common.

    But as Xtf says, postmarks and postage due's are less common and there are collectors for those. Picture postcard values has a small section at the end on postmarks.

    When I get cards with postage due or unusual postmarks, I tend to mention it in the title. - i.e. "Christmas greeting, holly, robin - 1905 Aylesbury squared circle postmark".

    Stamps with PERFORATED INITIALS or PERFINS originate from large companies or council departments and were intended to prevent unauthorised misuse of company stamps for private use, in much the same way as OFFICIAL overprints were intended for use by Government Departments

    Here's a link to the Wiki entry:

    If you Google 'perfin stamps' you'll find a whole host of information about them

    The same color-coding was true in the US for a time. 1-cent = green, 2-cents = red, 3-cents = purple, 5-cent = blue (not technically accurate stampe color terms, but they'll do here!)

    You may see some better 5-cent US stamps in Europe if the card was sent there. There is a 1915 1-cent US stamp for the Panama-Pacific Expostion with Balboa on it with two perforation varieties, one perf 12, one perf 10. The perf 10 catalogues for $7.00 or so but they can be found in nearly every dealers stock (unnoticed/noted). There are stamps with 'higher' catalogue values which don't really deserve them; or put another way, you don't need to pay a higher price to get one in your collection.

    In the US, especially the west, postmarks of closed post offices (from small towns which no longer have post offices and/or 'ghost towns') are a more interesting thing to research on the other side of the card. There are guides for those if you're interested.

    I will throw my hat into the ring as well. . . . In some cases, postmarks are more valuable than the stamps. Provisional (emergency postmarks)
    used for a short period only. Stamps with "overprints" are also worth looking out for. Then there are cards to destinations, where the town or
    village changed name or even country. The list is endless.

    Someone has already mentioned, odd or unusual postage rates to obscure places.Cards with postage due and other markings, censor
    etc, Fieldpost are all sought after.

    I can think of no single book that will help. My advice is concentrate on a
    particular area and read all the philatelic books relating to that area.

    Good luck.
