A book to treasure
The art world seems to cherish the large; large works, large personalities, large prices.That's why it's good to see the small celebrated, and in the work of Donald Evans, it is celebrated with such elan, that it's impossible to read this book without smiling and even laughing out loud. If you like Nick Bantock's stamps, you' ll like this...
Donald Evans' world was an amazing artistic creation of fictional stamps, painted in watercolour (to scale), in painstaking detail often in the manner of the classic 19th century engraved stamps from the foreign landshe collected as a boy.Evans' tragic death in a fire in Amsterdam, robbedus of a blossoming talent.His legacy is still substantial - over 4,000stamps, from which this book is compiled.Read more

Perfect gift for letter carrier father....
"An American Postal Portrait" is a visually engrossing cultural history of the postal service.My father, a letter carrier in Kansas, was fascinated.It renewed the pride he feels in his job.It was a positive reminder that despite our techno age's slurs against "snail mail," the image of the letter carrier remains a powerful cultural--human--image.The book is a reminder that "technological advances" are poor substitutes for the power of human interaction. This book would be the perfect gift for anyone you know who proudly labors to ensure that our country's mail will be delivered despite rain, or sleet, or snow....

A Walk through history
This is a wonderful book that reflects society and postal history on a parallel through time. Check out the section on the dog that was a mascot and traveled all across the world via airplane and earned his own medals! I learned a lot about our postal system and the photos were great. This was purchased for my husband who collects stamps. He really enjoyed reading about the "other" side of stamps. ... Read more
