About This Book

A systematic illustrated survey of Canadian postage stamps and postal stationery that traces the development of early provincial pence issues into later national series, describing designs, denominations, printing varieties, perforation and paper differences, and common cancellations. It catalogs major definitive and commemorative sets alongside specialized issues for registration, postage due, special delivery, and official sealing. Separate chapters examine stamped envelopes, wrappers, postcards, letter cards, official stationery, precancellation and permit practices, and the identification of varieties, all supported by plates, keys, and a reference list for collectors.
