Philately (the collecting of stamps) itself is a fascinating hobby looking at the development of postal services in all its forms, designs of stamps that have evolved the Victorian Penny-Black to today's creations, often artistic but dependant more and more on photography with greater or lesser degrees of digital manipulation. In his quest he has covered many unusual places that have only become more accessible with the advent of cheap air travel but has still found it necessary to use his own contacts, library of related books and more recently the internet to research his subject. Like all books in this series, they been laid out as global tour starting naturally in the UK and then travelling in an easterly direction through every continent -- without, it should be added, crossing the International Date Line! Readers will not find every country included but a differing selection in each volume."--|cProvided by Freading. 588 0 Publisher metadata. 650 0 Airplanes on postage stamps. 650 7 ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES / Stamps.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 914 frd00043017
