IN FIVE ALPHA VOLUMES : - 3 books "HISTOIRE DE LA PHILATELIE", a color encyclopedia of French and world postage stamps. The entire history of stamps, with many anecdotes on both the technical and historical sides. It also covers the different themes of collecting, the different ways of collecting, the specific language of philately, etc... undoubtedly one of the best popularized works ever published. - 2 "STAMP ALBUMS" books, complements to the 3 previous books, covering stamps from the 5 continents. For each country, a historical, geographical and political page... and an album sheet featuring the country's stamps, mint or cancelled, in individual "Limpid" covers - a good thousand (or two...?) stamps, most of them large format, to illustrate and complete the texts. A remarkable philatelic encyclopedia for the education of youth ... and adults.
