Need to know the postcard rate in Czechoslovakia in 1920? Have a Scott catalog number and need to know the Michel number? Want to learn more about the Inverted Jenny?

I do need some APS Library research help … used copies of the early German states stamps are typically cancelled with a circular hand stamp that has a number in the center … apparently you can tell the city/town of the cancellation from the number in the cancellation.
Is there a good reference book ( … or two, or three) that contains these numbers and cities/towns of origin? … I could search for it out on eBay.
Thanks … Jim Dumville (APS #195176)
