Stamp Collecting as a Pastime

by Edward J. Nankivell

Stamps and Stamp Collecting.

BY MAJOR E. B. EVANS.

This 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 also 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.

Price 2/- in strong Paper Cover, 4/- in Gilt Cloth; post-free, 3d. extra.
