I bought this book based on the high ratings as I have decided to delve deeper into what is a fascinating hobby and needed a more rounded overview of the subject to help me decide just what direction to take as the subject is so vast. This book is a revelation as far as I am concerned. It has already provided me with an enormous amount of relevant and very helpful information which completely exceeds my expectations. I defy anyone to find a better intelligent and highly readable resource on the subject at what is an almost ridiculously modest price. Highly recommended as a general resource and fascinating reading with many hundreds of colour illustrations. Do be aware however that there are no prices given as that is not the purpose of this book. For that buy yourself a Stanley Gibbons guide for your chosen countries for collecting and do the job properly. Armed with both you will be very well equipped. Superb and a very firm five stars!
