Sandafayre Stamp Atlas

Stamp collection or Philately is becoming a serious hobby. A collector must know the details of stamps in his/her hand and the missing and pending stamps. It is almost impossible to assemble a collection of stamps without some knowledge of the political history of the country. For the postal historian, knowledge of geographical changes and history is an essential part of his study. It was this problem of locating the relevant information which led the late Stuart Rossiter and John Flower who had collaborated on the famous Blue Guides to propose a Stamp Atlas. The story of each territory is narrated chronologically, but it can be cross-referenced to any other country by using similar time bands in other territories. It is intended as a work of general reference and one which will lead to a greater understanding of the boundary changes, stamp issues, and policies which have taken place. For the balance, no single work of reference was used, but the compilation would not have been possible without reference to the following books: The Encyclopedia of British Empire Postage Stamps, Volumes I to V by Robson Lowe; The International Encyclopedia of Stamps, edited by James Mackay; The Times Atlas of World History; The History of the British Army Postal Service, Volumes I to III, published by Edward Proud; Haydn's Dictionary of Dates, 1903; Stanley Gibbons Catalogues, both Simplified and Specialized and the Encyclopedia of Military History by Dupuy and Dupuy. If you are a philatelist or have some kind of stamps with you it is better to have this Stamp Atlas. The Stamp Atlas is published by Sandafayre and it is very much affordable. The Stamp Atlas is available on CD priced £10.00, plus £1.50 postage and packing.

Please contact by email stamp@sandafayre.com to order the CD.
