Abstract

The book goes far beyond the stamps themselves and the pedigrees of the known survivors, presenting potted biographies of all the famous collectors, from Count Ferrary and Thomas Tapling onwards. The chronicling of these very elusive stamps, and the immense literature that surrounds them, is also described in detail. Helen Morgan's gripping book, which often reads like a ripping yarn, will encourage all readers to scour their attics in search of philatelic treasure.
