(THIRD EDITION),
By MAJOR E. B. EVANS.
Work is intended to fill a void which has hitherto existed in the Philatelist's Library. It will be found
invaluable as a most useful and indeed a standard book to refer to in all cases of doubt or obscurity appertaining
to Postage Stamps and their surroundings.
The Collector is not infrequently perplexed by the various terms employed, and the fullest explanations are here
given of such.
Much interesting information is aisp included as to the various classes of, and the manufacture of the paper
employed, the typography, the_ embossing, the perforating or rouletting, together with many instructive and
interesting details connected with the fascinating science of Stamp collecting.
