[Michael Reilly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Described as ‘a comprehensive directory of the world’s greatest stamps’, this impressive book certainly features plentiful information about stamps and collecting methods, but additionally provides an interesting condensed history of the world, which is particularly illuminating in regard to unfamiliar people and places. Illustrated with a wide variety of stamp issues, this is a great guide for collectors both old and new.
