'T''H1S is the first handbook that we have produced for the Philatelic Society of India, and
we trust that it will be considered a credit both to the Society and to our own firm.
The volume contains 215 pages, similar in size and get-up to the publications of the Royal
Philatelic Society, London.
The important plates have been produced by the photogravure process ; this is very costly,
but gives the most magnificent results. The cost of the plates and other illustrations has
exceeded ;^400.
There is an immense amount of new information in this volume, and especially important are
the numerous retouches discovered by Mr. Hausburg in the stamps of the first issue.
Important chapters are those dealing with the Essays, Reprints, and Forgeries.
