Description

Stamps are more than just a payment for postage. The best and most memorable are gems of graphic design and encapsulations of our history. They celebrate landmark events, famous New Zealanders, sporting and creative achievements; our natural heritage, enterprising spirit and ingenuity. Looking back at more than 150 years of our stamps, it's also clear that they are a fascinating reflection of the mood of the country. Behind every stamp, there is a story, and the most interesting of these are presented in Richard Wolfe's latest book.
