Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Very Good book in Very Good Dust Jacket. 1st Edition. Dark Brown cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine, purple end-papers. DJ is not price clipped (£2.95). Looks unread, upper edge a little dusty, no inscriptions or other markings. A classic work on postcard collecting. Very well illustrated by 32 pages of half-tone pictures & eight pages in colour. The authors' primary concern is to give practical advice to the collector: where to find cards and how to go about starting a collection, how to restore and classify, how to value and date. All the major types of postcard are covered-topographical, commemorative, First World War, portrait, political. humorous, heraldic, silk embroidered and others. Many little-known facts are given about the development of the official postal stationery card which preceded the picture postcard itself, and about individual picture postcard artists and publishers. The appendix includes a chronology of historical events featured on postcards, lists of publishers and their trademarks, a chart of the main issues of 'officials', lists of today's postcard magazines and dealers, and the authors' own special key to valuing, which is proof against price inflation.
