Soft cover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. xii + 572 pages, illustrations : 29 cm. This is the second major philatelic book by the author, the first being on the Edwardians of the four provinces which, in 1910, merged to form the Union; that book was a natural and fitting sequel to the marvellous book by John Easton on the De La Rue commonwealth stamps up to 1900, and this latest book is of the same high standard. In 16 sections it covers, as the title states, the routes, rates and regulations of letters and postcards of southern Africa from the chaos and uncertainty of 1806 to the relative stability of 1916. The geographical coverage is southern Africa, as far north as the Rhodesias and Mozambique, but excluding Angola.
