Published in 1910, this is a second edition printing of Fred J. Melville's handbook number one, which provides an easy to read and follow look into the Victorian era engraved stamps. Despite being a paperback, it is likely a must-have for British collectors as a philatelic reference. The out of print 86-page book (about 4-x-6-inches) includes a wealth of information on the stamp process in 19th Century England as well as great black and white images and graphics to better understand the issues and their differences in plating. The book has been in hand for 111 years and shows some age, IMHO, hence the picture of the spine as well as the front and back covers.
Couple of final notes, it is impressive that Stanley Gibbons thought highly enough of the book to have taken over publishing, and in the final notes there is a comment about upcoming books on King Edward VII stamps and then the United States Colonies.
Title: Great Britain: Line-Engraved Stamps
Publisher: Melville Stamp Books, London
Publication Date: 1910
Binding: Soft Cover
Book Condition: Reference Copy with obvious soilage on cover, a couple of flattened cover corner creases, and upper spine damage.
Many philatelic reference books are collectible in their own right since many renowned hobby experts are now out of print. Most are valued for their collectability based on condition, rarity, and to some extent their use as a reference. Condition is the key and is highly subjective, so study the images, read the content, ask questions, and work with a reliable collector-dealer to get what you want.
Condition: No undisclosed condition issues. Please check out all of the images including the sample pages.
Please note, payment is expected within three (3) days; thank you. This will ship media mail, unless the buyer wishes to pay for a faster postal service.
Every effort is made to generate a stellar experience for buyers and reciprocal feedback is always appreciated. Bookmark the store and check back often for new opportunities.
