This is India's first authoritative book on stamp making. The author
describes his first-hand experiences with all stages of production of the
stamp, right from conception to final execution and printing. He steadfastly
focuses on designing which plays the most vital and important role in the
entire process. The book also gives a graphic account of history and evolution
of postage stamps in the world in general and in India in particular. Simultaneously
he offers a glimpse into the glorious chapters of Indian history. The book will
be of interest not only to philatelists, but also to the public at large as
well as students and historians.
