The Philatelist’s Companion
Gunston, Bill
ISBN: 0715363840
David & Charles Newton Abbot, London, Vancouver 1975 First Edition
8vo - up to 9 ¾" tall - Octavo Hard Cover 600 g.; VI, 7-256 pages, preface by author, glossary of terms and index. The text is illustrated with the occasional black-and-white photographs, line drawing and black-and-white illustrations throughout the book. Tan coloured boards with gilt titles to the backstrip. Minor bumping to the backstrip and rubbing to the book corners. The spine is slightly cocked. Browning and some marking of the text block edge. Light age toning to the internal text. Colour photographic dustwrapper with orange background and black titles to the front panel and backstrip. A little rubbing of the dustwrapper edges. Yellowing and a few handling marks to the rear dustwrapper panel. The remains of a sticker can be seen to the lower left-hand corner of the front dustwrapper panel. Clipping of the dustwrapper, front fold over, lower right-hand corner. " The Philatelist's Companion is meant to help primarily with the financial aspects of collecting stamps. The author promises that anyone who reads it and applies its principles will be able to invest in stamps with at least as much capital -- appreciation as if the money were put in the bank or any other profitable security. It does not matter whether the stamps are a hundred years old or a mere hundred days; the only essential is that the collector should understand precisely what they are and why they should be worth collecting. And this in turn demands that the collector should not collect blindly but should have knowledge." -- from the front fold over panel blurb. Digital image available upon request to help assess condition. Stamp Collecting Good
