Much has been written about stamps and stamp collecting. In this book, Bertram Smith aims to inspire uninitiated collectors with the information needed to define personal collecting objectives and understand the world of postage stamps. The book devotes a chapter to the postal history of a select number of countries and explains forgeries, printing processes, covers, and the collecting market. ( JOSIAH)
