When modern postal history is coming up short, through the lack of postage stamps and postal markings used on mail; and as bland and colorless meters and permits become the postage of choice, collectors will go back in time to collect stamps and covers with interesting markings from earlier days of postal communications. For those collectors interested in the British area of fascinating postal markings on classic stamps and covers, as well as desiring to gain insight into the ever-diminishing world of modern postal history postmarks, there is Collect British Postmarks from Stanley Gibbons, Ltd. My review is here.
