Title: Great basic collectors' reference
Product review: A wonderful pocket guide to philately. Includes a list of tools, descriptions of separations and watermarks, a glossary of terms, information about stamp identification including examples of written words/letters/ideographs relevant to stamp collecting from different countries, and illustrations of stamps from different countries.From the back cover:???DO YOU KNOW???what "A.M.G." means? Or "Charity Stamp"? Or "Lozenge Roulette"? Do you know the use of stamp hinges or a perforation gauge? Can you identify stamps that bear the words "Boyaca," or "Cabo Jubi," or "Milliemes," or any of hundreds of others? ...Obviously not the latest word in the field, having been published in 1967, but pretty extensive for its size.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
