'BRITISH LETTER MAIL TO OVERSEAS DESTINATIONS 1840 TO UPU' BY JANE AND MICHAEL MOUBRAY, 1992 FIRST EDITION. A good to fine hardback copy of the first 1992 edition of this exceptional publication, 511 pages, published by The Royal Philatelic Society of London. This book covers the rates, routes and regulations concerned with the dispatch of British letters to overseas destinations from 1840, when Rowland Hill's new scheme for cheap postage became a reality, until after the adoption of the Universal Postal Union treaty. Updated by the second edition but still contains so much for the collector and excellent value for money. (Ref 140418).
