Description

Although many letter boxes are ordinary, some types, such as those that survive from the 1850s, are understandably rare. This book describes some of those from the Channel Islands, where pillar boxes were first introduced in 1852, to Scotland, which has had its own design of letter boxes since the Queen's accession in 1952.

Author Biography

Martin Robinson has been collecting stamps and writing about them and other aspects of postal history since 1965. He has travelled extensively recording and photographing letter boxes of all kinds, and corresponds with fellow enthusiasts.
