A
permanent pictorial cancellation is issued to use throughout the year without
any time limit. There are many permanent
pictorial cancellations issued in different states on various subjects which
are of utmost importance related to that place.
The
new book ‘Handbook of Permanent Pictorial Cancellations of India’ compiled by
Sushil Mehra and K.Chaitanya Dev gives detailed information about Pictorial Cancellations/Postmarks from all
over India. The permanent pictorial cancellations have been given state wise with
the details of the picture on the cancellation as well as the initial date of
the issue and PIN code of the Post Office. It also gives QR Code on every page
using which through smart phone one can get the location of the town on Google
Maps. A brief description of the town is also given on every page at which the
Post Office is located.
The
Book is very useful for the collectors of permanent pictorial cancellations. It
is a reference book for all stamp collectors. Every philatelist would like to
have this book as pictorial cancellations have an important place in Thematic
Philately, Postal History, Postal Stationery Collection as well as Traditional
Philately. The Authors have taken extra care to illustrate the latest PPCs from
the respective e post offices. The layout a of the book is very good with clear
color pictures of the postal stationery on which the cancellations have been
given.
I
recommend this book to every philatelist. The book will help them to arrange
their collection of permanent Pictorial cancellations systematically as well as it is an excellent reference book for those who are in
traditional philately, Postal history, Postal stationery or Thematic Philately.
