This
book includes a comprehensive collection of postage stamps used in Palestine
since the mail system was introduced in 1840, including those produced
by the Arab revolutionaries during their revolts prior to 1948 and after
1967 in the Diaspora. The stamps produced by the revolutionaries are about
30, and the rest were produced by the Ottoman State, the foreign consulates,
the British mandate, and the occupation authorities. This book includes
30 color pages with photographs of the various stamps used in Palestine
over more than 100 years. Even though the text itself is in Arabic, the
stamps themselves are an excellent historical document that transcends
the confines of language.
