A History of America in Thirty-Six Postage Stamps
Book (italiano):
"In A History of America in Thirty-six Postage Stamps, Chris West (author of A History of Britain in Thirty-six Postage Stamps) makes the leap across the Atlantic to take on America's own rich philatelic history. From George Washington's dour gaze to thecharging buffalo of the western frontier, to Lindbergh's soaring biplane, American stamps are a vivid window into our country's extraordinary and distinctive past. With the always accessible and spirited West as your guide, discover the remarkable breadth of America's short history through a fresh lens. On their own, stamps can be curiosities, even artistic marvels; in this book, stamps become a window into the larger sweep of history. - With deckle edge and full-color reproductions throughout - For fansof A History of the World in 100 Objects and Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey - A perfect gift for patriots, philatelists, and armchair historians"--
