Sobre este artículo
New York: The MacMillan Company. Good in Poor dust jacket. 1947. First Edition; Second Printing. Hardcover. 144 pp. Large octavo, 10.5" x 8". Stated 1st edition, 2nd printing. Pictorial dust jacket, very machine age dust jacket is missing many pieces, flaps still present, now in Mylar to hold it together. Illustrated with wonderful images, as well as b/w pictures of stamps 1847-1947 Book covers are blue, just a hint of wear at edges. Interior is clean and unmarked, paper is soft and some pages have clean tears with archival repair but otherwise good. Starting with the 1930s, there are a number of stamps that have been pasted down on the image -- almost 100% are cancelled. They include a 1932 Olympic Summer Games, National Parks of 1934-37, Gold Gate International of 1939, New York World's Fair of 1939, Famous Americans of 1940, Win theWar of 1942, Armed Forces Issue of 1945, Tennessee Statehood of 1946Twin-Motored Transport of 1941-44, and many others. Some stamps are loose and I have not tried to put them back to where they belong. A decent copy of this book with a nice collection of early mid-century American stamps. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 144 pages .
