The APS holds a complete run from issue 2/14 plus a few others of vol. 2. There are very few entries relevant to purely Austrian philately. Also: 'Stamp Collecting' for 29/11/1919 (the 'Hungarian issue'); Booklet on Perfins, undated but post-WWII; Air Mail Postmarks (1974) & supplements; and an Index dated 1995.

[The map site is http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/3felmeres.htm and each map is about 22 x 15 inches at 220 DPI and 5Mb as a jpeg. I'm sure they are high-resolution scans of the mostly-pre-WWI series of which some APS members have a few; many are still available in Köhlmarkt in Vienna. They are immensely detailed - a print reduced to Austria-size is almost entirely black! Ideal for locating Postablagen. Ed]
