Stamp Collecting As A Pastime

Stamp Collecting as a Pastime has become a classic book for any stamp collector. Written by Edaward James Nankivell in 1902, the book presents the hobby of stamp collection as a serious pastime for everyone. The first ever stamp issued was the Penny Black in 1840 and by 1902, stamp collection was a relatively new hobby and considered to be a fun for just the kids. Edward was an avid stamp collector and wanted to educate people about his beloved hobby and why it is a hobby for all, from the Prince of Wales to the school children. As a result, this book was written.
