This book aims to present all that is currently known about Tasmanian postal stationery. It covers the period up to (and sometimes beyond) the transfer of powers to the Commonwealth in 1912. The authors have half a lifetime of experience between them of collecting, researching and exhibiting Tasmanian Postal Stationery. The Groom “Printed to Private Order” exhibit achieved Large Gold and Best-in-class at Sydney 2019 . Both authors have published articles on various aspects of Tas Postal Stationery over the years.
The book has now won an international gold medal at the FIP World exhibition in Lugano, Switzerland.
