Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the history of postage stamps in the Philippines, exploring their development from the first attempts at introducing stamps in the mid-19th century to the complex and often chaotic period surrounding the Spanish-American War. The author delves into the intricate details of each stamp issue, meticulously outlining the different designs, colors, paper types, and varieties.
